Here is a link to a very interesting movie on the history and politics behind Aspartame.
I will warn you ahead of time that the movie is very one-sided, and many of the claims that are made about the dangers of aspartame seem to be greatly exaggerated. However, it is also very eye opening.
Even if the claims are greatly exaggerated, they still describe a very scary political battle that was behind the legalization of what is probably the world’s most famous artificial sweetener.
PS- By posting this movie I am not verifying or agreeing with its views or opinions. I am condoning it as an educational piece of work for you to assess and to use as a tool to build your opinions on what you choose to eat and what you choose not to eat.
