I posted about help with a research paper topic a while back and here is my almost final draft if you find any important revisions to be made please help me. Thankyou.

well you did what you said you would do and produced a paper to say aspartame was unsafe.
I think the accusations of corruption in the FDA went a bit far, it's not jut they who have approved the use of aspartame:

"In addition, other scientific advisory bodies such as the Scientific Committee for Food of the European Community, and the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and World Health Organization have reviewed all the available safety studies and have found aspartame to be safe. More than ninety countries world-wide, including the United States, countries of the European Union, and Australia and New Zealand, have also reviewed aspartame and found it to be safe for human consumption and allow its use in various foods."

This is not a research paper, this is sad case of fear mongering.

Well said Borek, I wanted to vent my spleen on it but didn't want to get banned from the forums.
As someone who has worked for over 20 years in regulatory safety assessment it infuriates me to see this type of biased "tabloid science" described as a "Reseach Paper".
