I previously suspected that you were incapable of accepting ANYTHING that
is counter to the FDA approved, Corporate oriented, party line. You have
at last CONVINCED me, and i suspect many others, of it. You couldn't
refute the FDA dogma if God herself came down and told you that it was a
wrong. At one time having fixed ideas was considered a sign of insanity.
Your idee fixe is double-blind studies. Of course they are necessary in
many (perhaps even most) situations but i fail to see the necessity of
performing double-blind studies, at great expense to the taxpayers, when
in case after case after case Aspartame is proven to be the culprit by
simply removing it from a sick person's diet - everything else remaining
the same. Of course such methodology doesn't put the moola into the
coffers of some taxpayer's $$$ addicted research facility.
