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.

Splenda is worse… Stevia is fine

Stevia tastes just awful to me. I wish I liked it.

I find that Stevia has a vaguely creamy flavour to it. Which works well in some instances, and not in others.

Aspartame just tastes awful, for me I get this weird sticky/bitter sensation over the roof of my mouth and turn my throat.

Splenda/Sucralose tastes fine, but has noticeable effects elsewhere, which are a bit TMI.
