Your link is NOT to an FDA recommendation or decision, it is a link to a letter that was submitted by an independent citizen from the Aspartame Toxicity Information Center (sure sounds objective to me). All the statistics that you quoted were his, NOT the FDAs.

You should be very careful about accepting the statements of "independent" posters on the internet, whose motives none of us have any way of knowing.

As far as I can tell, Mark D. Gold does not have any sort of professional degree, and has never published any scientific paper in the literature ever, anywhere.

Bottom's up!
