How do they get studies to perpetuate the corporate perfidy that aspartame is safe? To start with, they have their own research front group, ILSI. But there are so many evidences, on Google just under aspartame is poison there are over 100,000 results.
Every part of the net screams aspartame is deadly except for the trade organizations that receive funding from the industry and those paid to say it's safe. years and what were those conversations and how much of those conversations ended up in the regulatory failures about to occur in dropping strong labeling for artificial sweeteners? I don't know, and couldn't find out, because 1) I am from a different nation, and 2) even if I were a Canadian, unless I were a member of Parliament, I would have no subpoena nor interrogatory powers to ask questions, but members of Parliament in Committees do have such powers.
There are now 6 class actions on aspartame for deceptive advertising trying to get away with calling soda with aspartame "diet" when it has caused an epidemic of obesity. Read all about it:

And who is Karen McIntyre? Among other organizations, she is a member of HEALTH AND MEDICINE DIVISION in the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine:
One wonders what might be one source of the totally corporate propaganda at the heart of the present and future policies and regulatory pronouncements of Health Canada, and who, if anyone is infusing Health Canada with such misrepresentations? Which corporations have been speaking with Heath Ministers, both present and prior? I am not a Canadian, nor do I have any subpoena or interrogatory powers, but members of Parliament meeting in committees to get to the truth of matters do indeed have interrogatory and subpoena powers.
I mention these board members of the HEALTH AND MEDICINE DIVISION, because it is interesting, the very clear connections between government regulators and industries to be regulated. Among this group we have both former and current representatives of Monsanto, Coca-Cola, Pepsi Cola, Dr. Pepper, Cargill, Nestle, Unilever, General Mills, Chobani Yogurt, Ocean Spray, Mars Candy, Conagra, ndy, Hills' Pet Nutrition, and Codex Alimentarius.
[Very similar backgrounds and representation, albeit with different names and different companies on the European Food Safety Authority]
