  • Please don't joke about it, this is a serious issue.
    Just because the thread was started by cornishdavey doesn't stop it being real, you know.
    Aspartame IS DEADLY.
    I know, I have researched it intensively not only on the Internet but in more 'conventional' reference materials too.
    I am NOT JOKING
    I am NOT TROLLING
    I am NOT MAD
    Believe me...

    I want you to destroy all tinfoil-hat wearers! Please! For all our (diabetics etc.) sakes!!

    ASPARTAME IS SAFE. The FDA says so, the MAFF says so, the BMA says so, Diabetes UK says so... need I continue? Other than to point out that any single one of these organisations is far more reputable (and believable) than all the world's nutcases put together...

    I've looked at dorway.com, and it's the usual: anecdotes masquerading as "evidence", liberal use of the Post Hoc fallacy ("my dad used artificial sweeteners and died of cancer, therefore sweeteners cause cancer"), with a dash of the Fallacy of Proof By Selected Instances thrown in (the site mentions that aspartame breaks down in the gut to methanol, whilst conveniently omitting to mention the fact that the amount of methanol involved is negligible); etc.

    The last point reminds me of one of the posts by one of the prime nutcases, Rich Murray, about five years ago; he put forward the same "aspartame breaks down to methanol" argument, and in reply somebody else pointed out that the amount of methanol resulting from drinking a certain amount of Diet Coke was only about half that resulting from drinking the same amount of fresh orange juice! :) Unable to deny this embarassing fact by lying, Murray resorted to the fantasy that the "artificial" methanol from aspartame is considerably more than twice as harmful as the "natural" methanol from orange juice; which of course was total bollocks, methanol is methanol regardless of source...

    Take a look at this information on why the methanol is dangerous
    Don't just take my word for it - if you want to argue against me, first read it up in reference materials in libraries like I did!!!

    S'ok, cornish, I respect you for starting the thread, I just don't think the others do...
    I'll be your friend, CD, and together we can wage war on aspartame.

    1stofall, I am not Rich Murray. I have never heard of Rich Murray. If he is around I hope he can help prove this.

    2ndofall, No ?5 for you, tw*tf*ce (you are "I am not gamestage" AICMprideback)

    3rdofall, locking this thread is a ridiculous idea. The only people who should be locked from posting on this thread are people like you who say "we're not at war" when the bombs are already falling.

    4thofall, as well as the rest you are also GWBush, or TBlair, for reason that you say "not at war" while bombs falling see point 3rdofall ATTEOT.

    QED (you'll never work out that TLA)
    (GWBush does not speak Latin, that's why it is for)

    <edit>
    Oh, and, tinfoil has nothing to do with it.
