Exactly! And here is another vital consideration that is missed

Grzbear, you make an excellent point.  And what we should realize here on CZ is that the same point is also valid when it comes to testing drugs.  Drugs are typically tested versus a single placebo (and that is bad enough when you have a situation where MSG was chosen as the placebo for the testing of Aspartame), but they are usually NOT tested for side effects in combination with other drugs and OTC medications.  Since almost everyone who takes a prescribed medication also takes other prescribed and OTC medications, we are essentially operating in the dark for ALL drugs when it comes to side effects.
