McMartin was part of aspartame and methanol research supported by the aspartame manufacturer, G.D. Searle. They used a methanol test developed in 1969 that would not show a plasma methanol increase of less than ~500%.
Raif Geha conducted research funded by the NutraSweet Company related to aspartame and allergic-like reactions (specifically urticaria/angioedema). Dr. Anthony Kulczycki Jr., M.D. reviewed the study design from 1986 to 1987 and refused to take part because of the flaws in the design of the study.
Pretty much all NutraSweet-funded are designed to make it nearly impossible to find adverse reactions. And if adverse reactions are found (like in the Leon study mentioned above), statistical acrobatics are performed to claim that no adverse reactions were found. You can read about Kulczycki's critique of Geha's research and his own findings related to aspartame in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, February 1995, pg. 639-640.
Albert Koestner was author of two aspartame pre-approval studies in the early 1980's to assess the prospective brain cancer potential of aspartame in rats. His article was published in an aspartame industry book in 1984, "Aspartame: Physiology and Biochemistry." He relied on the stated results of the pre-approval studies conducted by the manufacturer despite testimony from U. S. Food and Drug Administration investigators who said things like: "They [G.D. Searle] lied and they didn't submit the real nature of their observations because had they done that it is more than likely that a a great number of these studies would have been rejected simply for adequacy. What Searle did, they took great pains to camouflage these shortcomings of the study. As I say filter and just present to the FDA what they wished the FDA to know and they did other terrible things for instance animals would develop tumors while they were under study. Well they would remove these tumors from the animals." [FDA Toxicologist and Task Force member, Dr. Adrian Gross] "[Searle's studies were] incredibly sloppy science. What we discovered was reprehensible." [FDA Commissioner Alexander Schmidt]
George L. Blackburn led aspartame and body weight-related research funded by the NutraSweet Company. I haven't been much attention to the body weight-related research other than to notice that independent research has often come to different conclusions.
These are just a few of the examples of industry funded studies and the public, very few of whom are chemists, have no idea of the maneuvering to try and get a poison to show safety.
The truly worst crime committed by FDA was the sealing of the teratology studies that showed neural tube defects, spinal bifida and cleft palate for starters. I would not even known about them had not the FDA's own Jerome Bressler when he retired pleaded with me to find these studies and add them back to his Bressler Report because people were using this poison without knowing what they could do to their babies and the horrors aspartame can cause.
It took me 8 years to find these studies and add them back to his report. Read all about it: http://www.mpwhi.com/complete_bressler_report.pdf
So now we have a global epidemic of autism. Here is the chapter on autism from Dr. Woodrow Monte's book, "While Science Sleeps: A Sweetener Kills" - .rense.com/general96/asparautism.html
When Dr. Ralph Walton did research that was broadcast on 60 Minutes, he found that 92% of all studies showed problems aspartame triggers or precipitates, and said if you eliminate 6 studies the FDA had something to do (the new FDA after Arthur Hull Hayes was appointed to over-rule the Board of Inquiry no longer exposed aspartame) and one pro aspartame summary, 100% of independent studies showed the problems aspartame causes.
Since then again almost 100% of independent, scientific peer reviewed studies show the problems.
When US Right to Know sent in these studies, the FDA responded that " they needed more time." That was in 2015. The modus operandi of the FDA is postpone or not answer. I still have 24 questions I sent to the FDA under FOIA for answering almost three decades ago and they haven't been answered. Newt Gingrich when he was Speaker of the House had an aide work on getting the FDA to answer the questions and the FDA denied even the Speaker of the House's demand for answers. (When do people take the "Fifth"? When they are guilty!
So this Imminent Health Hazard Demand for Ban being sent to FDA is based on these undeniable facts:
(1) Aspartame has shown itself to be a chemical poison by scientific peer reviewed studies the entire time it's been on the market and before and FDA ignores the science and refuses to accept them as valid studies that should remove aspartame from the market. How can the FDA not accept hundreds of examples of independent scientific peer-reviewed research?
