In Health Canada's response, McIntyre wrote:
""Regarding the safety of aspartame when used as a food additive, food additives, artificial sweeteners included, are strictly regulated in Canada."
This is some kind of a ludicrous and mendacious joke. Canada turned it down twice before the FDA was forced to approve it through Donald Rumsfeld's actions, one of the dirtiest tricks in the long and checkered history of the United States Food and Drug Administration. Health Canada, like the FDA, has competent chemists who can recognize the harm done by the amount of formaldehyde metabolized from aspartame, and thus all along have known, just like the FDA knew. Here is an excellent article from some trial lawyers titled:
Lawsuits and Documented Evidence of Harm -- Yet Aspartame Remains FDA Approved click here
Canadians and indeed the rest of the world may not know about how aspartame was approved. The forced approval of aspartame through the efforts of Don Rumsfeld and President Reagan occurred in 1981, and then began the rubberstamping of aspartame around the world. No agency doing studies and seeing the poisonous nature of aspartame would ever approve it.
How did it get approved in England? Through a business deal with Professor Paul Turner. This was all detailed in an article in the Guardian: .wnho.net/how_aspartame_got_approved_in_england.htm
When Parliament found out they were furious, yet they did not rescind the order. The UK's Food Standards department was then set up in an effort to keep the agency away from industry. Today they are no better than the FDA. Industry is writing all the propaganda and if you point it out and give proof they refuse to change their web site.
Now people are sick from consuming aspartame in England so now the European Commission Scientific Committee on Food is going to do a review. How do you take a poison and then determine that it is safe? Simple: by cheating. OLAF, the European Anti-Fraud Office investigated and found that no committee made the decision, just one person.
An excellent analysis of the situation by Mark Gold of the Aspartame Toxicity Center can be found at:

What happened because of this? The European Commission Scientific Committee on Food became inactive and EFSA was set up. You have to give England credit: they tried and tried to keep agencies away from industry but to this day they still play musical beds with industry. EFSA has such a conflict of interest that it is appalling. All you have to do is investigate. Now EFSA is going to do a review on aspartame and what do they do? They plagiarized a manufacturer funded review and copy the text with minimal word changes. For an entertaining read on how EFSA did it:

Let's take another country - New Zealand. I visited Food Standards there to find out much of what they had was wrong as well, and after showing them documentation, I asked what studies they did for approval. It was admitted they relied on the FDA and never did any studies.
Similarly, aspartame's approval was rubber-stamped around the world and when independent studies show the horrors the Trocho Study showed, industry fights back by trying to assassinate the character of the researcher as they did Dr. Alemany. Read his story here: http://www.mpwhi.com/letters_to_the_hhc.htm
This is what honest researchers are put through to punish them for telling the truth! "Aspartame strictly regulated in Canada" is nothing more than industry strictly regulated by the FDA in the US, EFSA in England and Food Standards in New Zealand. What a joke!
A few brave souls at the FDA in 2009 even wrote to former President Obama and said the FDA was broken and if they spoke out they feared reprisals. Here is the documented information: click here
The whole point of what Health Canada is doing is to keep hiding the name aspartame as much as they can. Reading letters from these agencies is like reading a comic book that has nothing to do with reality, completely absurd, yet devastating when you comprehend that such corporate induced and manipulated intransigent fol de rol becomes the law of the land, as administered by Health Canada.
