On the few times I accidentally take a sip, I taste metal and get a headache. No thanks.
Cyclamates are the safest artificial sweetener. So they banned them.
Just like J&J had the safest (or only real) Covid vaccine, so they banned it.
Tried it once and had ringing in the ears for hours on end.
I carefully read labels to avoid aspartame.
Apparently it turns into formaldehyde in the brain.
It’s on the no drink list for epilepsy.
I guess I’m lucky. My brain was already full of formaldehyde............
Well said.
All of the sugar alternatives give me tummy troubles. No thanks. It’s easier to cut back on sugar than to use the other kinds, for me anyway.
Sugar turns out to be an ambiguous concept. Does “sugar include high fructose corn syrup, or is the term restricted to cane sugar? I can defiantly tell the difference between a high fructose coke cola and the Mexican version made with cane sugar. The latter is much, much better to my taste. However, I sat through a video where someone analyzed the sugar in both and came to the conclusion that the cane sugar in a Mexican coke quickly became chemically indistinguishable from the domestic, high fructose coke soon after bottling.
Who knows? Medicine is corrupt and only cares about money and left-wing politics. The tree-hugger supplement vegan crowd all sorts of nutjob claims.
SINCE WHEN ARE THERE “ADDITIVES” TO HONEY????
They make artificial honey now................
As you probably know, the late Donald Rumsfeld was involved in the development and approval process of aspartame.
Rumsfeld was CEO of G.D. Serle & Co., a company that developed and sought FDA approval for the artificial sweetener.
Rumsfeld used his government contacts at the FDA to suppress about potential dangers of aspartame. He was later involved in negotiations to sell Serle to Monsanto in 1985. The FDA ultimately approved it after further review and disagreement with claims of potential brain damage and tumors.
Rumsfeld served as Secretary of Defense first under Ford, later under George W. Bush. I appreciated his leadership under W., but all things considered, I suppose that means what? Nobody is perfect.
may, suggests, possibly, could etc. All conclusive data.
I wonder who financed this crusade against something?
So it turns you into a Democrat/Communist? Yikes! -- a fate worse than death!
A CEO’s only duty is to the shareholders. Make them richer, one way or another..................
“SINCE WHEN ARE THERE “ADDITIVES” TO HONEY????”
Since we started importing it from China
Which is why I buy honey from a local bee keeper. Plus eating the local honey builds up resistance to local pollen.
Which I am allergic to some springtime tree pollen.
Been using it since the 80s
Still a conservative
Still alive.
No headaches
No cancer
No zombie-like reactions whatsoever.
YMMV
By definition, this has always been so.
Although, some CEOs may try to nudge their shareholders and/or customers into a different way of thinking.
Example of later:
Harley Davidson CEO Jochen Zeitz aggressively pushed the WOKE agenda in advertising; advocating liberal policies on Trans Care for kids, Critical Race Theory , Climate Change and other. After a steep decline in sales, with numerous threats to ‘Bud-Lite’ his company, including a video with (ultimate fighting champion) Sean Strickland explaining why he would be selling his Harley, the CEO has announced his ‘sudden’ retirement.
