However, except for some
notable items such as the bio on Mr. Shapiro (what he has done, who he
has worked for, and his affiliations), and links to Kelco and other sites...
you will probably find no meaningful information concerning product safety
as pertains to aspartame. My impression was they are bragging
about how big they are, and how much money they are making, and their projections.
As of 10/04/98 even this simple bios was not found anywhere on their site.
Since the link is gone, here
is the bio once on their WEB site.
Mr. Shapiro joined Searle, now
a unit of Monsanto, in 1979 as Vice President and General Counsel.
In 1982, he was named President of the newly formed NutraSweet Group of
Searle. When Searle was acquired by Monsanto in 1985, he was appointed
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The NutraSweet Company, a subsidiary
of Monsanto. In 1990, he was named Executive Vice President, Monsanto Company,
and President, The Agricultural Group, an operating unit of Monsanto.
He became Monsanto's President
and Chief Operating Officer in 1993 and was appointed to his present position
in April 1995.
Note:
These links could evaporate overnight if Monsanto changes anything!
(and they certainly did disappear!)
