Your argument: When will people understand that numbers of scientific reports can be meaningless?

So then you attack aspartame without citing even one study saying it is unsafe. But when climate change deniers say that it is not happening the argument against them is that 99% of scientists say that it is happening. The very thing that you say is meaningless.

War on aspartame is the War on science.
