    The FDA says 75 packets of aspartame a day is the acceptable daily level. That would be insane.

      Well, I didn’t much before reading the article, but after reading it I don’t trust the FDA at all.

        You don’t trust the FDA after you’ve read that they conclude that aspartame is safe, which is in line with over 100 other countries’ regulatory agencies?

        Wait until you read what the FDA has to say about water.

          I don’t trust them because they rejected aspartame in the 70s and it was only approved by Reagan in the early 80s because he had an executive from the manufacturer in his entourage. That’s shady crony-capitalist bullshit. Downvote me all you want.
