Source for your edit on Aspartame
Hello Njm121, In march you added to the article on aspartame: "On January 21, 1981, the day after Ronald Reagan's inauguration, Searle re-applied to the FDA for approval to use aspartame in food sweetener, and Reagan's new FDA commissioner, Arthur Hayes Hull, Jr., appointed a 5-person Scientific Commission to review the board of inquiry's decision. It soon became clear that the panel would uphold the ban by a 3-2 decision, but Hull then installed a sixth member on the commission, and the vote became deadlocked. He then personally broke the tie in aspartame's favor. Hull later left the FDA under allegations of impropriety, served briefly as Provost at New York Medical College, and then took a position with Burston-Marsteller, the chief public relations firm for both Monsanto and GD Searle. Since that time he has never spoken publicly about aspartame." Statements like this one shouldn't be inserted without citing a reliable source. Right now the article is protected so it can't be edited, but you can name your source here and I'll verify it and (if it's reliable) add it once the article can be edited again. If there's no reliable source for the paragraph, it'll be removed from the article. --Six words (talk) 21:54, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
