Original research
One of the important concepts on Wikipedia is that all statements should be traceable to reliable sources. In addition, medical claims are held to a higher standard. In the case of medical sources, the preferred sources are reviews (secondary sources) rather than original published studies (primary sources). This means that the weight given to different primary studies is based upon experts publishing with editorial oversight. Another issue is synthesis. It is all to easy to take sources and draw some sort of conclusion; just using a conjunction may infer causality between isolated facts. At Wikipedia, we require any interpreted conclusion to be drawn in reliable published sources. At Aspartame, you have made extensive use of primary sources and drawn conclusions not in those sources. Expect it to be edited extensively and potentially deleted. Don't be discouraged. Be bold when editing, respect editors who disagree, and discuss the changes. Just remember that being bold does not mean digging in your heels. If an argument does not satisfy other editors, find additional support for the argument or look to see what satisfies the counterargument. If you run into policy issues, don't be afraid to ask for help. This is a collaborative environment. Again, welcome.Novangelis (talk) 17:46, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
