Aspartame Organizations

For the past twenty years, public information about the dangers of aspartame has been carefully controlled by various interest groups and organizations. There is no value to a lack of information and data, as the public has a right to know all sides of any issue, especially one that effects them directly. Independent research scientists and informed medical practitioners have made public the evidence that aspartame is harmful to public health, and many organizations as well as individuals have shared their personal experiences via aspartame organizations offering data that has been kept from the public.

The following is a list of select aspartame organizations which have persisted in keeping aspartame information available to the public.
