Aspartame Truth Information Site -- Probably the most objective, well-researched,
and logical analysis of this issue can be found on this independent website. Alan Raetz (the webmaster) has done a very
thorough job of addressing the science & pseudo-science concerning aspartame.
PubMed-Medline -- An online resource at the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland that includes citations
from all the major, respected medical journals from around the world. This is the place where doctors and medical researchers go to do
their own research. Typing in "aspartame" in the search field will provide many years' worth of research on aspartame. Much of this
research the primary anti-aspartame websites don't want you to see as it absolves aspartame of the claims that "Aspartame Kills!"
The Health Care Reality Check -- The HCRC specializes in testing the claims of alternative medicine.
This is relevant because some anti-aspartame websites appear to have connections to companies & businesses that sell untested, unregulated
alternative health care remedies. Kind of makes you wonder who really has a conflict-of-interest, doesn't it?
Quackwatch -- Many of the more hardcore anti-aspartamers seem to promote "natural" alternative & complementary medicines, as opposed to the supposedly "toxic chemical" medicines put forth by traditional doctors. This website points out the numerous (and sometimes dangerous) pitfalls and errors in logic that people like Betty Martini and her fellow anti-aspartame activists make when promoting such "miraculous, natural" cures.
Aspartame Information Center -- This site was put together by the
Calorie Control Council, a non-profit association established in 1966, which seeks to provide an objective
channel of scientific-based communications about low-calorie foods and beverages, and to assure that scientific
and consumer research and information is made available to all interested parties.
The Anti-Quackery Web Ring -- This ring is for
sites that combat & debunk health-related frauds, myths, fads, and fallacies, and are more interested in real,
objective, scientific proof, than in the speculative, subjective, and unproven theories and anecdotes of so-called
Alternative Medicine. If you are sympathetic to the aims of the National Council Against Health Fraud, and you
consider Quackwatch to be a reliable source of anti-quackery information, then this ring may be just what you're
looking for.
