While I'm not for an FDA ban, there is much research linking
Nutra-Sweet to brain tumors. This research was ignored by the
former FDA dictator, who, against the recommendation of the
FDA's drug review panel, approved aspartame, shortly there-
after retiring from "public service" to go work for J.D.
Searl, which owns the patent on Nutra-Sweet, how neat.
All life-extenders should zero-out this toxin.

*** Consumer groups ask for new look at aspartame
Two U.S. consumer groups called Monday for a new Food and Drug
Administration review of the safety of aspartame. The request was
based on a newly published study that noted an increase in brain tumor
rates and said that of several possible factors aspartame "is a
promising candidate to explain the increase." But brain tumor rates
have been stable or declined slightly despite a vast increase in use
of the artificial sweetener, and an FDA spokesman indicated that a new
round of safety studies was not likely. For the full text story, see
