I'm no fan of the artificial sweetener aspartame: there is quite a lot
of evidence linking its consumption with adverse effects on health.
Plus, it turns out that while industry-funded research on aspartame is
universally positive, independently-funded work is almost always not. My
suspicion is that growing numbers of individuals are viewing aspartame
with suspicion, and a recent turn of events suggests this scepticism has
filtered through to the food retailers too. The supermarket chain Asda
has singled out aspartame as a 'nasty' that is has banned from its 'Good
for You' range of own-label foods. Ajinomoto, who make aspartame, have
served a writ against Asda in an effort to protect the reputation of its
product. For more on this, and why I believe the ensuing 'food fight'
will be a 'no-win' scenario for Ajinomoto, click this link.
