cloothe	IF almost anything you wrote in your question were true then I would be concerned. But since it is mostly pure fiction or muddled facts (a lot of it the product of the sugar industry lobby), then I won't pay any attention to it. What is definitely true in this country is that diabetes is exploding and obesity is a national crisis. Getting people to give up sugar should be a national priority, and to the extent that sugar substitutes help people do that, they have my support and they deserve yours. Oh, wait, I forgot--you are sugar industry supporter. Whoops. What I meant was, that non-caloric sweeteners deserve the support of everyone who cares about these twin national health emergencies, except for the sugar lobby. The truth is that the sweeteners have been tested, and retested, and tested again, and all the bad things that you attribute to them simply haven't shown up. Could something happen 20 years from now that we don't know about today? Sure. It happens. But what will be true is that a lot of diabetics and overweight people will die in the next 20 years unless they have access to weight-control foods. Given that, I'll take my chances on a possible, unknown, unprovable risk over an definite, real emergency that exists today. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ahdunno	Aspartame was originally developed as ANT KILLER bcoz it is a neuro toxin somebody found out it was sweet, who found that out I wonder? an it's CHEAP, look at the cost of cheap fizz and then the cost of low sugar cheap fizz it boils down to money, only 2% are sensitive to it's toxic effect, if I have it in a drink I go almost unconscious for 24 hrs Was this answer helpful to you?

brandiwhine	I stopped drinking or eating anything with aspartame in it years ago after I started having seizures and the aspartame would increase the "feelings" I would get before I had a seizure. Until you can back up what you say above about Repubicans aiding in the distribution of aspartame, I am going to say this. Why is it that Liberals can't wait to jump all over the Republicans for what is wrong in our society. Of all of the wild things I've heard this and Katrina are two of the craziest. I'm sorry I'm using this as a platform to complain about Liberals and their ability to say everything is bad because of the GOP, but you opened this can of worms. Back up what you say and I will retract what I say. I think the FDA has issues, too. I was told by an FDA agent that because I have to take seizure medication that I can NEVER have a child without it being disabled and I shouldn't even try. I have a two year old healthy baby now. The FDA has power and sometimes they abuse that power by trying to hurry up and get a drug on the market without fully knowing what it's side effects are and then bam, we have people dying and getting hurt worse from the drugs that were supposed to help them. ALL government needs to stop the bitching and moaning and do something like come together for the better of OUR NATION. Sorry to rant, but like I said, you opened that can.

madison018	um NO! i wouldn't drink diet b/c it tastes awful! but in all honesty, the FDA is just totally corrupt (then and still). i mean seriously, acid reflux DISEASE?, obesity? - they're just SO CALLED diseases b/c the only way the FDA will release a drug if it helps a 'disease'. try telling someone that their medications are POINTLESS and are NOT a cure (or that their medications are making them dependent on their medications) and the pharmecuital companies just want you to come back EVERY SINGLE DAY for more medications instead of actually CURING you. no one will listen, people these days are far too STUBBORN and thick headed to listen unless you who them actualy physical proof, in which they will still be skeptical. believe me i've tried! people don't see it as being harmful b/c no direct deaths have occured from it. they dont' realize that having a LONG diseased filled, frequent hospital visit, unhealthy death is coming to them. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
