Dr. Jacqueline Verrett wrote a book years ago but its not available on Amazon on additives - Eating May Be Hazardous To Your Health. Anybody finds it let me know. She is deceased but was a heroine and testified before Congress on aspartame. As we know aspartame was approved by political chicanery and not science. (The article concerning her is at the bottom of this page).
Here are some of her comments:
- Jacqueline Verrett, a senior FDA scientist on the review team, said members were barred from stating opinions about the research quality. "It was pretty obvious that somewhere along that line they (bureau officials) were working up to a whitewash," she said.
- "I seriously thought of just walking off of that task force." Verrett, now a private consultant, said that she and other members wanted to "just come out and say that this whole experiment was a disaster and should be disregarded."
- But on September 28, 1977, the panel reported that deviations between Searle's raw data and its FDA submissions were "not of such magnitude as to alter its conclusion."
Verrett said the bureau's intent seemed to be "to tone down what was really found." She noted the bureau felt pressure because safety concerns also had been raised about cyclamate, another alternative for the cancer-linked sugar substitute, saccharin.
- The Senior Scientist of the FDA Bureau of Foods Task Force, Jacqueline Verrett had left the FDA. Speaking for the UPI Investigation into Aspartame, she said, 'I seriously thought of just walking off of that task force.' Verrett, now a private consultant, said that she and other members wanted to 'just come out and say that this whole experiment was a disaster and should be disregarded.'
- In her testimony before the U.S. Senate, Dr. Verrett stated the following (Verrett 1987):

In 1987, Verrett testified before the US Senate stating that the experiments conducted by Searle were a "disaster." ... (13) Testimony of Dr Jacqueline Verrett, FDA Toxicologist before the US Senate
