Google Alert provides me with free daily alerts for any word that
appears in any of 4,500 media outlets worldwide, so I get them for
aspartame, methanol, formaldehyde, Splenda, and artificial sweeteners.
Today's haul for formaldehyde was rich: seven articles that are
explicitly concerned about formaldehyde toxicity, all listed below,
just as I received them as a single daily summary.
It makes rather problematic the attempts of PR spinmasters to deny the
significance of the 11% methanol component of aspartame, which the
body always quickly turns into formaldehyde and then formic acid.
Also, try searching aspartame on the new engine from Verizon www.ask.com .

formaldehyde from 11% methanol part of aspartame or from red wine
causes same toxicity (hangover) harm: Murray 2006.05.24
Dark wines and liquors, as well as aspartame, provide
similar levels of methanol, above 120 mg daily, for
long-term heavy users, 2 L daily, about 6 cans.
Within hours, methanol is inevitably largely turned into formaldehyde,
and thence largely into formic acid -- the major causes of the dreaded
symptoms of "next morning" hangover.
Fully 11% of aspartame is methanol -- 1,120 mg aspartame
in 2 L diet soda, almost six 12-oz cans, gives 123 mg
methanol (wood alcohol). If 30% of the methanol is turned
into formaldehyde, the amount of formaldehyde, 37 mg,
is 18.5 times the USA EPA limit for daily formaldehyde in
drinking water, 2.0 mg in 2 L average daily drinking water.
Any unsuspected source of methanol, which the body always quickly
and largely turns into formaldehyde and then formic acid, must be
monitored, especially for high responsibility occupations, often with
night shifts, such as pilots and nuclear reactor operators.
