The main problem is "bad science" sounds just as reasonable to most Americans as true science. In fact, there are a number of publicly-funded groups who publish trash...the scarier the trash they publish, the more likely they are to sucker in more well-intended people for support, and get DONATIONS to further their causes. I have at times also wondered if there is any funding connections of these groups with Monsanto's competitors.

I particularly like this rebuttal, which completely shoots down a load of trash:

(from the Director of the MS Society)
In summary, this series of allegations by MS. Markle are almost totally without foundation. They are rabidly inaccurate and scandalously misinformative. I have found no basis for alarm about aspartame, but would recommend (based on one study) those patients who are being treated for depression let their physicians know that they are using aspartame. Patients who have a documented, evaluated adverse reaction to aspartame should avoid its use. There is no connection between the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation and Ms. Markle or her writings.
