Finland

On June 12, 1987, Dr. Anja Hallikainen,
an official with the National Board of Foodstuffs, stated:
"Aspartame was accepted in Finland a couple of years ago. When
it was accepted, it was considered safe - and safer than saccharin
and cyclamate.
"Finnish experts state that it is not
possible to have allergic reactions from aspartame".
"About those claims in the USA; where
people say that they get a headache or cannot sleep or lose their
appetite because of aspartame, our experts say that those symptoms
are not caused by aspartame".
