This is a must read on eye health and maintainance. You may or may not be 
affected , but you might be shocked!
Please excuse the interruption , but I thought you may be interested to know 
what may be causing all kinds of health problems for yourself or for your 
loved ones. I can't seem to get it through to my wife's brain about this 
vital health issue, Now she is always saying she is having trouble with her 
vision.  Gee, I wonder why? I am so pissed off right now, I really want to 
slap some sense into her. She has been feeding this poison to my four 
children for years after I asked her not too, so you can see why I said what 
I said previously, but I would never hit my wife. Why are people ignore what 
science brings to are attention about health issues.  I am really upset, but 
I hope this helps you....since I can't get through to my wife of 16 
years.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

> Walton found 166 separate published studies in the peer reviewed
> medical literature, which had relevance for questions of human safety.
> The 74 studies funded by industry all (100%) attested to aspartame's
> safety, whereas of the 92 non-industry funded studies, 84 (91%)
> identified a problem. Six of the seven non-industry funded studies
> that were favorable to aspartame safety were from the FDA, which
> has a public record that shows a strong pro-industry bias.
