Dr. Joseph Thomas of the FDA recently wrote to me to the effect that if there has been something new since 2002, we can file again our request for ban on aspartame. They completely disregarded the Imminent Health Hazard petition sent to them in 2007. Here is the recent report exposing how FDA lies and violates the law:

Dr. Thomas' email to me is at the bottom of this post.
Of course, scientific peer reviewed studies have continued and almost 100% of them show problems. FDA has not even replied to the ones prior to that time. Taken from the" US Right To Know" petition to FDA, below are 41 studies the FDA has chosen to ignore and failed to answer. They keep saying "show us the science," but when you show the science to FDA they ignore it. These are just a FEW of the researched studies that prove the harm done by aspartame.
