Putting a stop to Aspartame

[tmosley]

there ya go science only cares about the % that doesn't have negative reactions to the rest be dammed.

Ok. You are forbidden to have any food that anyone else is allergic to from now on. Enjoy your starvation.

hey I am allergic to many foods growing up I did almost starve a couple of times and also as an adult because of being allergic to so many things. I believe it was vaccine that compromised my immune system.

You must be crazy, vaccines are perfectly safe. When my child is born, I will give him every single vaccine the CDC recommends within one hour of birth. He will have so many bandages I won't be able to see him, but who cares?

My point: No matter how much sense you make, and the valid claims you may have against vaccines, you are wrong. I don't even need to provide a counter argument, because I have the government on my side. And when the government is on your side, sense comes second.

It isn't to around half the population. It is to around 99% of RPF members.

There is so much misinformation in that article, I don't even know where to start. We discussed all the misinformation on glutamate in the MSG thread, and the same applies to aspartate. In short, aspartate does not cross the blood brain barrier, save via molecular pumps, which regulate the amount that goes into the brain. The amount of aspartate naturally in your blood is enough to kill every cell in your brain five times over. If your glutamate pumps are malfunctioning, you're dead anyways.

On Phenylalanine, those people with the genetic disorder already know they have it. Complaining that it is dangerous to one group is like rallying against the dangers of peanuts. The fact is that it isn't dangerous for the vast majority of the population.

On methanol: I have to call BS. If this was a problem, I would be blind or dead by now. Throughout my college years I drank a HUGE amount of diet soft drinks, and never had any problem. I have also had my share of diet drinks that have gotten too hot and had the aspartame break down. That is not pleasant to drink, because the sweetness is gone. Sugar free jello would not be sweet if the aspartame broke down. It is apparent that it didn't. Those drinks have to sit in 100+ degree weather for weeks before it breaks down. This is my experience from leaving a package of diet drinks in the garage for a month.

On DKP, this isn't a problem either. The tests he cited had the animals ingesting the equivalent of 3500 packets of sweetener per day. This is hardly a comparative test. Also, no-one would accept a GLP standard that included getting animals mixed up. It is obvious that the standards that were provided didn't include such statements. To say otherwise would be wholly asinine. I've had to deal with GLP, and I can tell you that that standard gives the term "anal" a whole new meaning. The tests have been reproduced dozens if not hundreds of times since then WITHOUT mix ups. Complaining about problems with the initial tests is a tactic of the AIDS deniers, and is beyond annoying. They act as if nothing has been done on the subject since 1983. The same thing is happening here.

Thanks for your reply. I will just let the information I posted speak for itself.

I like aspartame. It makes Diet Dr. Pepper taste just like regular Dr. Pepper!

Plus, I enjoy zero calorie sodas.

I'm really a Splenda fanatic, though.

Right, so no-one should be allowed to have any foods. That is what you are saying, no?After all, all food is unhealthy to some people, some of the time, so it should be off limits to everyone, all of the time. That is what I am reading from your comments RE aspartame.

Splenda in sodas gives me gas (it's taken up by the gut bacteria who then starve to death, releasing methane and CO2 as they do so), but I like it for most other applications. I made a great no-sugar-added apricot syrup when I first started canning. Great stuff. I wish we hadn't had that late freeze this year that killed off all my fruit...

Splenda is Aspartame. Sheesh...

How is SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener made?

SPLENDA® is the brand name for the ingredient sucralose. It is made through a patented, multi-step process that starts with sugar and converts it to a no calorie, non-carbohydrate sweetener. The process selectively replaces three hydrogen-oxygen groups on the sugar molecule with three chlorine atoms. Chlorine is present naturally in many of the foods and beverages that we eat and drink every day ranging from lettuce, mushrooms and table salt. In the case of sucralose, its addition converts sucrose to sucralose, which is essentially inert. The result is an exceptionally stable sweetener that tastes like sugar, but without sugar's calories. After consumption, sucralose passes through the body without being broken down for energy, so it has no calories, and the body does not recognize it as a carbohydrate.

<blush> OK then, I take it back.


(Now about that OTHER question I asked, is it "fit to print" or I suspect: no??)

That's OK, we can skip it.

circle jerk- literally, a bunch of guys standing in a circle wanking their dongs.
used as an expression to illustrate similar behavior in other regards.
