Critical Pharmacology: ,,I\'ve been increasingly interested in artificial sweeteners and their screwy health effects. The neurotoxic effects of aspartame first got me interested in the subject, then the involvement of Donald Rumsfeld in influencing the FDA to approve aspartame, then the lawsuit against the makers of Splenda for their \"made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar\" to the tune of hundereds of millions of dollars. I mean, it doesn\'t get any more high-drama than that.\'\' critpharm.livejournal.com
