> FDA officials describe aspartame as "one of the most thoroughly tested and studied food additives the agency has ever approved" and its safety as "clear cut."
- spangry 9y agoWhy the downvotes? This is true to an almost absurd degree. The following food / health standards agencies have found aspartame to be safe for human consumption: - World Health Organisation - US FDA - British Food Standards Agency - European Food Safety Authority - Health Canada - Australia and New Zealand Food Standards Authority - And a whole bunch of peer reviewed, double-blind RCTs Although, I should disclose that the Aspartame Illuminati pay me a commission whenever I make a positive mention of the additive :)
- tmnvix 9y agoNot sure about the rest, but doesn't the Australia and New Zealand Food Standards Authority just adopt the USFDA stance where appropriate? Are you saying that they did their own research in this case?
