Aspartame is ironically a substance we are most sure of its safety because of how fixed many were on the idea it was dangerous. Few substances were given such exhaustive testing. The sources would be shot down for a reason and not some vast conspiracy but because the hill they chose to die on wasn't even real. I would draw the opposite conclusion - safety analysis by whatever becomes a cause is a very poor way to both allocate resources.
