Santa Fe gallery owner Stephen Fox is leading the push to prohibit use of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved substance. He says new research suggests aspartame is a toxin that can harm human health.

Fox's hope for a hearing on the issue was thwarted this month when the state Environmental Improvement Board postponed a hearing it had scheduled for next July on his request to ban aspartame products or put a warning label on them. At its first meeting in the new year, the board postponed the hearing for six months until next January to wait for legal advice.

I wouldn't be suprised if it did cause cancer even at approved levels. The original tests with rats caused a lot of them to get cancer if not all of them if I recall. Also the US has done this in the past, a bunch of reporters got silenced and threatened for reporting on harmful effects of bovine growth hormone, which was approved for use.
