Very true.

I believe tha cancer link because I have locked myself in the Nutrasweet department of Monsantos UK head office for several hours
while I read their convidential files and faxed copies of them to
third parties (see SHAG report April 21st 1997). Amoung the files were guidelines on how to deal with press enquires, copies of their own supress research and of independent findings from around the world. Monsanto privately seem to accept the cancer link while putting their efforts into damage control and public relations solutions.
