I feel much the same way as you do, John Milner. Additionally, I tend to, out of the gate, discount anything these days from organizations with names like "Science Alert", and below is a summary of the first FOUR pages of articles from this website.

I get that many people have an axe to grind with Aspartame. Or with Donald Rumsfeld. That kind of thing.

Like Freepers Sequoyah101, Jerod (and others) it is always good to ask yourself "cui bono?" (who benefits?) when reading these things. It is good to keep in context where these kinds of "science" articles come from, and why they publish these kinds of things. I doubt that Red Badger is onboard with all these kinds of things being pushed by this website, and it may be true that.Red Badger may have reasons for not liking Aspartame or any other kind of artificial substance. Which is perfectly fine, even good.

So this post is not against Red Badger who I greatly respect...it is just information to consider the source!
