Revealed: WHO aspartame safety panel linked to alleged Coca-Cola front group - eviltoast

It uncovered eight WHO panelists involved with assessing safe levels of aspartame consumption who are beverage industry consultants who currently or previously worked with the alleged Coke front group, International Life Sciences Institute (Ilsi).

Their involvement in developing intake guidelines represents “an obvious conflict of interest”, said Gary Ruskin, US Right-To-Know’s executive director. “Because of this conflict of interest, [the daily intake] conclusions about aspartame are not credible, and the public should not rely on them,” he added.

    I think self medicating with caffeine may have been part of it. Congrats on the cutting back.

        Personally it doesn’t even do that, it just literally does nothing whatsoever to me.

        I have popped 200mg of caffeine pills and chewed a 4mg nicotine gum and the only effect is that the gum makes me cough.
