The DORway to Discovery! Web site was created in September of 1996 as a nonprofit site dedicated to informing the public about the many unhealthy aspects of aspartame (a.k.a. Equal, Nutrasweet, Spoonful, Equal Measure, Benevia, Joe Sweet, Nutrataste). It was created out of frustration, stemming from the inability to motivate elected officials, government officials and the media/medical system to inform the public and to effect the removal of this substance from the human food chain.
