RE: Another concise RGA response!

"Considering results from the large number of studies on aspartame's safety, including five previously conducted negative chronic carcinogenicity studies, a recently reported large epidemiology study with negative associations between the use of aspartame and the occurrence of tumors, and negative findings from a series of three transgenic mouse assays, FDA finds no reason to alter its previous conclusion that aspartame is safe as a general purpose sweetener in food."

This is all BS. The use of statistics where results are done at the typical 5% level is subject to all kinds of selection problems. There is an obvious economic motive to do this selection. Real science, e.g. physics, uses statistics properly (e.g. 5 and 6 sigma) and even then runs into the occasional problem of screw ups (e.g. CERN "faster than light" neutrinos, but these results didn't survive peer review).
