Re: Aspartame Made by GMO E Coli Defecation
The first genetically modified drug was insulin produced by GM E. Coli. The E. Coli express a protein (insulin is both a protein and a hormone) and it is excreted, some could say defecated, out of the organism. Prior to this those with Diabetes would need to get insulin extracted from pigs or dead humans. The average age of a person with Type 1 (does not produce insulin) was very low before this technology came out.
Since then E. Coli has been used to make a wide range of compounds by inserting genes into the organism. Aspartame is just one of many. Whether made from a lab or made from E. Coli poop is irrelevant IMO.
Anyway, I don't like fake sugars either but not because it was made by a GM organism.

Re: Aspartame Made by GMO E Coli Defecation
You misunderstood my post. I agree that aspartame is bad. I disagree with your vilification of the process but I understand that many think that anything Genetically Modified is bad. We've been modifying genetics for thousands of years though. Traditional plant breeding is a form of genetic engineering done with selection and cross breeding.
Anyway sorry for derailing the topic a bit.
