There are clues
to why it seems to be finding its way into everything. The patent
expired in 1992 and global production has soared. Wikipedia quotes
the Holland Sweetener Company who stated that they had stopped
making the chemical in late 2006 because 'global (A)spartame markets
are facing structural oversupply, which has caused worldwide strong
price erosion over the last 5 years' making the business 'persistently
unprofitable'. So, supply exceeds demand. The consumer must be
force fed a product which has the reputation of one of the most
dangerous food additives because it is being manufactured to excess.
Update
Nelson's, the parent company of Bach, have now reformulated their
Rescue Pastilles to exclude Aspartame and are now sweetened
with xylitol
- a naturally occuring sugar alcohol found in the fibres
of fruit and vegetables. The tins with the new formulation
are very similar but san easily
be identified as the Rescue Pastilles
containing Aspartame have the words PASTILLES WITH
SWEETENERS (plural) whereas those
with the new formulation have the words PASTILLES
WITH SWEETENENER (singular). If in doubt,
check the ingredients on the back.
