What were those markers? President Reagan had told Rumsfeld he would be nominated for vice president, but instead selected Bush number 1.
The day after Reagan took office he appointed Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes as the new FDA Commissioner, to over-rule the Board of Inquiry. Reagan knew it would take 30 days to get Hayes to the FDA, so he wrote an Executive Order making the FDA powerless to do anything about aspartame. At 3 AM that night a member of Reagan's staff called the FDA Commissioner Jere Goyan and fired him. Here is a letter from his wife who was there when the terminating call came in: http://www.mpwhi.com/letter_about_jere_goyan.pdf
Once aspartame was on the market there was outrage as consumers were diagnosed with seizures, multiple sclerosis and blindness from the free methyl alcohol releases. Senator Orrin Hatch, on Monsanto's
payroll, obstructed hearings on aspartame for years, but there were 3
Congressional hearings from 1985 to l987. Hatch was on Monsanto's
payroll, and kept the bill in committee that would put a moratorium
on aspartame until NIH completed independent studies on the flood of
aspartame problems they were seeing: seizures, blindness, headaches, sexual dysfunction, behavioral problems, especially in children, drug
interactions and birth defects.
About that time Dr. James Bowen wrote FDA that "aspartame is mass
poisoning of the American public and 70 countries" - today over
100.

The good doctor wrote: "For this reason, I am opposed to labeling
aspartame content of food and drinks. To do so would imply that the
government is taking some sort of responsible action....when the only
responsible action would be to immediately take aspartame off the
market, fully disclose its toxicities, offer full compensation to the
injured, public and criminally prosecute anyone who participated in
the fraudulent placement of aspartame on the marketplace."
How was the new FDA Commissioner, Arthur Hayes, get rewarded for over-ruling the Board of Inquiry? He was hired as a consultant to
NutraSweet's PR Agency on a 10-year contract at $1,000.00 a day, and nobody's heard a peep from him since, he got lockjaw. Who ever heard of a PR guy who won't talk?
Now they began funding professional organizations ladies-of-the-evening like the American Diabetes Assn, American Dietetic Assn and numerous others to propagandize the public with touting asparshame. Of course they also threatened scientists whose studies identified the toxicity of this poison. In the UPI Investigation Dr. Wurtman was threatened if he did studies on aspartame and seizures he would lose his funding. He capitulated. Read this report on the 8 month investigation by United Press International:

Dr. Wurtman, too, got a terrible case of aspartame lockjaw, but MIT
still gets the money.
ILSI, the International Life Sciences Institute, was born in 1978 as a "research" front for our favorite poisoners. It's board members are from Coke, Pepsi, Searle, Monsanto and the rest of the usual suspects. If a university won't play their way the get no pay, that is to say, funding for fake "research".
Over the years many independent studies have been done. The
manufacturers say 200 studies that aspartame is safe as rain. Some of those were the ones FDA found fraudulent and sought prosecution
for, and others were simply bought and paid for quack studies from
rubber duck labs.
Consider seizure studies by Monsanto, they bought Searle in
l985:

Seizures are listed 5 times on the FDA report of 92 symptoms that
range from male sexual dysfunction to death:

People are having so many seizures and going blind on aspartame that
the Community Nutrition Institute filed a petition to ban aspartame
in l986. Again the manufacturers put in the fix to prevent it from
being banned.They were so worried someone would have a seizure they actually gave people anti-seizure medication in the Rowan study. '
Another impeccable "study" involved one-day consumption of, believe
it or not: a single capsule of aspartame. Tantamount to smelling the
bottle. The got it peer reviewed with their power. So when consumers complain of seizures they say "we did studies and aspartame doesn't cause seizures".
I smoked a Lucky once and I'm fine, so nicotine
doesn't cause cancer!
They have all bases covered. Today front groups like Calorie Control
Council, with full knowledge that aspartame causes birth defects and
mental retardation actually push the poison:

When 60 Minutes did a story about aspartame and brain tumors the
manufactures claimed to have all these studies showing safety. Dr.
Ralph Walton who was on the show decided to research who funded the "studies":<http://www.dorway.com/peerrev.html>http://www.dorway.com/peerrev.html
Note that 92% of independent peer-reviewed studies show problems
aspartame causes, while those funded or controlled by industry all
say it's safe. If you eliminate 6 studies the FDA, aspartame's branch
office in Washington, messed with, and one pro-aspartame sponsored
summary, 100% of independent scientific peer reviewed studies show
aspartame problems.
