I corresponded with Professor Walton for a while. Here's what happened. After the preliminary study showed such dramatic adverse effects, he applied for funding to do a much larger and more sensitive study. Not only did it not receive any funding, all his established sources of funding dried up. Usually, he received renewable grants to fund graduate students and their research. He was stone-walled. Not a penny came his way. No grants were ever renewed. He was, effectively, forced into retirement.

I think it is absolutely telling that the company that makes aspartame was spun off onto its own. Just like Corning spun off the breast implant division. Legal protection against broad liability, limited to the assets of the smaller company.

I think that says it all.
