Consider the fact aspartame is extremely addictive. The methanol is classified as a narcotic, causes chronic methanol poisoning. This affects the dopamine system of the brain and causes the addiction.
Remember in the case of methanol it not only affects food, but also breathing the alcohol vapor.
Dr. Musser, I find it hard to believe your lack of real world knowledge on aspartame. You say, "Second, you asked if FDA was aware of "the severe toxic cumulative effect of free methanol in the body, building up over time (0-20 years) eventually causing organ, tissue and neurological damage." FDA is not aware of any information that substantiates this claim as it relates to methanol exposure from the use of aspartame. From the data reviewed by FDA, methanol in aspartame (or in fruits and juices) does not accumulate in the body and is easily metabolized by the body's metabolic capacities. One would have to be exposed to repeated doses of methanol at levels well above those resulting from consumption of aspartame containing food products before any accumulation would occur."
Here is an article by Dr. J. Barua published in the Journal of the Diabetic Association of India: http://www.wnho.net/emerging_aspartame_facts.htm
She explains the cumulative effects in great detail. Furthermore, the Trocho Study by Dr. M. Alemany in Barcelona showed that the formaldehyde converted from the free methyl alcohol embalms living tissue and damages DNA.

I visited Dr. Alemany in Barcelona and he told me aspartame would kill 200 million people. I believe it already has because of the different neurodegenerative diseases and cancers it triggers or precipitates. Why so many symptoms (92 from your own report) and diseases. Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D. explained:
"We know that aspartame -- because it is poison that affects protein synthesis; because it affects how the synapses operate in the brain; and because it affects DNA -- can affect numerous organs. So you can get a lot of different symptoms that seem unconnected". Dr. Blaylock is the author of "Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills" about aspartame. This poison is also an abortifacient and teratogen.
As I stated above, if you were to examine independent peer reviewed studies instead of industry propaganda you would have the facts. They couldn't show aspartame safety in original studies what makes you think any studies from the manufacturer could show it now. They should have been indicted for fraud like the FDA asked originally. Now we have a global epidemic off Aspartame Disease. Have you not researched how they fix the studies?

Welcome to the Aspartame Toxicity Center where you will get facts instead of industry originated claptrap.
Also understand the difference of methanol in aspartame and methanol in fruit juice. Read the peer reviewed journal article, "Aspartame: Methanol and the Public Health" by Dr. Woodrow Monte:
