Tunnel-visioned lobbyists?  Oh, yeah, I'm sure there are NONE of THOSE
representing the makers of products such as Nutra Sweet.  In fact, I'm sure
the multi-billion dollar company behind Nutra-Sweet has no reason to try to
protect its interests as best it can.  Why would they?

Of course, you're right.  I've got the picture now.  We've been fed by hoax
after hoax by these "tunnel vision" lobbyists.  The last one was the big
anti-smoking propaganda campaign.  Of course, all those tunnel-visioned
lobbyists were simply propagating  "doomsday" banter .  Just listen to the
tobacco company execs for the truth, "Tobacco has not been proven to cause
cancer".    Hmm, I'm going to have to take up smoking AND drinking lots of
Diet Coke now, thanks to you.

Too bad they haven't yet identified the gene that causes irresponsible,
obnoxious posts.  There should be a screening test for it before they allow
people (such as yourself) on the internet.

[Translation for the sarcasm impaired:  Betty may be right or wrong.  At
least she is posting something which resembles information, unlike the
flames which followed.  Anyone actually care to respond with real scientific
arguments, as opposed to flame baiting, to what she has to say?].
