"A double blind study on the effects of aspartame on persons with mood 
disorders was conducted by Dr. Ralph G. Walton. Since the study wasn't 
funded/controlled by the makers of aspartame, The Nutrasweet Company 
refused to sell him the aspartame. ... Aware that the experiment could 
not be repeated because of the danger to the test subjects ..."

However, there isn't a citation where the reader can see the results of 
this study for themselves.  The insertion of 'funded/controlled' colours 
the intent of the message to imply that Big Corporations are inherently 
Evil and invariably bias a study in their favour just by funding it. 
The other statement completely blows the comment out of the water, since 
the FDA would certainly take seriously what could only be an epidemic of 
the indicated symptoms, considering the widespread use of Aspartame.
