I recently just typed in an entire chapter from Dr. H.J. Roberts' text on aspartame and diabetes, because it can precipitate the disease and because independent scientific peer reviewed research has shown it raises fasting blood sugar. We have an epidemic of obesity and diabetes and aspartame has shown to be a major culprit. Because the FDA never protected the people and lied to physicians and to the public about it being a safe additive, they think sugar is causing these epidemics. Now we have seen new "sugar taxes," thus resulting in industry moving to save money by replacing sugar with aspartame that caused most of the epidemics in the first place. More diabetics will die.
The FDA has changed the labeling on 17 dairy products; this truly is against the law. G. D. Searle in their secret trade information they were forced to submit in Congress even admitted that aspartame could not be used for everything. http://www.mpwhi.com/trade_secret_information_on_aspartame.htm Thus, they approved it for dry foods, fully knowing it would break down to formaldehyde at moderate temperatures, or at 86 degrees. Then they approved it for baking anyway, showing their complete lack of concern for the public. Then Dr. David Kessler stated in 1995 that if aspartame complaints could be lowered in 1996 they would make it a general sweetener, which even the manufacturer said could not be done!
I wondered how even the FDA could get away with lowering existing complaints on aspartame. First of all, the FDA started refusing to take complaints. Continuously, aspartame victims called saying they were told the FDA was no longer accepting complaints. I expected this, but how could you manipulate existing, complaints already on the record, complaints lowered without just throwing them away? That's exactly what FDA did.
When New Mexico tried to ban aspartame I personally spent an hour with the New Mexico Attorney General at that time, Gary King. He told me if I could show that the autism epidemic came from aspartame, he would step in and protect the children. Dr. Ken Stoller, a New Mexico Pediatrician at the time had already done the research and had graphs and everything necessary to prove the autism epidemic was due to aspartame. The New Mexico Attorney General abandoned his promise.
The hideous politics of the FDA didn't even spare the children. On my web site you will see the FDA Board of Inquiry that revoked the petition for approval and you will see Dr. John Olney's testimony to the FDA saying birth defects were a given. www.mpwhi.com
In talking with Dr. Olney's biochemist, Dr. Madelon Price, she stated that the FDA told Dr. Olney they would see to it that even though Rumsfeld got aspartame approved, no child would ever be given it. Now it's in pediatric drugs and babies are dying from it like this case: http://www.wnho.net/sweetened_horror_story.htm
A medical organization some years ago said the babies were dying, and they didn't know why. They then asked Big Pharma not to put out these pediatric cough syrups and such because they thought there was something in them that caused their death. It's called aspartame. Giving babies a deadly chemical poison is a horror story indeed.
Then when FDA Jerome Bressler retired (who did the famous Bressler Report), he pleaded with me to find the teratology/birth defects studies and add them back to his report because the FDA had sealed those records so the public wouldn't find out aspartame caused birth defects. In one case, a woman drank Diet Coke through 3 pregnancies and has 3 autistic children. She and her husband work two jobs so when they die somebody can care for them.
It took me 8 years to find those records. They have been added back to the Bressler Report, showing such things as neural tube defects, spina bifida and cleft palate. The FDA for years refused to release these reports. One FDA official said they were old and had been shredded. Yet after I made them public FDA did release some to Dr. Woodrow Monte who wrote the book, "While Science Sleeps: A Sweetener Kills". Here is Dr. Monte's last chapter on aspartame and autism:

You will note the FDA and G. D. Searle made a deal not to release these teratology studies. Imagine no pregnancy warning on a product with a methyl ester that becomes free methyl alcohol! And that's not the only ingredient that causes birth defects. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee is full of children with brain tumors because their pregnant mothers were not warned about birth defects.
FDA has used every trick to not protect the public. Instead of removing aspartame from the market by rescinding its approval, they have compounded this egregious on going catastrophe, and have approved more aspartame products like Advantame.
The biggest study was done on the public. The Trocho study showed the formaldehyde from the free methyl alcohol embalms living tissue and damages DNA. That explains a lot, yet with not a peep out of FDA!
There are class action suits for deceptive advertising calling soda "diet". Millions have suffered from neurodegenerative diseases and cancers while FDA sits back and pumps out lies. Aspartame was actually listed as a biochemical warfare weapon:
