Oookay... I guess we now know what is making you grumpy...
;^)
Good one! But in my defense, I’ve been grumpy way before Equal!
Well, duh. The FDA rushed approval for the stuff so fast it would make your head spin. (which it literally did, for some people). I’m sure it was all on the up and up./s
This has been know for years. Cover up is alive and well.
That’s what I had for breakfast!
I recently rented a car in California that had a cancer warning sticker - on the driver’s left side window! And it was about 5”x5”, pretty big.
It really wasn’t in the way of seeing anything important, but it was an irritant/distraction. I peeled it off and stuck it on the rear 1/4 window. Probably non-complying with some Calicrat’s diktat, but I didn’t really care.
Aspartame was looked at as poison so long ago. I don’t know if it is or not, but I stayed away from it, because for me it ruined the taste of everything it was in, particularly diet soft drinks which I never could stand.
The blue one is not aspartame, the pink is. The stuff in Mio and diet rite cola is another artificial sweetener, I cannot eat that one. Stomach upset very quickly, then quick trips to the throne. I never have notice ill effects from aspartame though. SUCRALOSE...that is the nasty. I used electrolyte replacements with it as an ingredient one summer while painting my sisters house, I kept the steady trail to the toylot, and replaced the fluids with that stuff until I was dehydrated. It did not work as an electrolyte replacement. Drink pickle juice, water and iced tea while eating melons.
So if you mix diet coke with whiskey, the ethanol clears the methanol from your system? There is a reason painters consume a lot of booze, it actually negates paint thinners in the blood. Thinners break the skin barrier, and go straight to the blood. Good booze is a remedy.
Me too, I like Stevia in coffee and tea.
I politely beg to differ.
WEEKLY DIETITIAN TIP: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE IN COLORED SUGAR PACKETS?
Have you ever wondered which small, colored packet you should add to your coffee and what the difference is anyway?
> The white packets are table sugar, they pack in extra calories and added sugar.
The other colors are non-nutritive sweeteners, meaning they are calorie and sugar-free:
> The blue packets are aspartame, the most popular brand name being Equal. Aspartame is about 200X sweeter than sugar.> The pink packets are saccharin, otherwise known as Sweet N Low. Saccharin is about 300X sweeter than sugar.
> The yellow packets are sucralose, also known as Splenda. Sucralose is 600-800X sweeter than sugar.
Their tastes vary in sweetness, so it’s a personal preference on which to pick. Each of these sweeteners is safe to consume as part of a healthy diet.

My mom was diabetic, so I’ve been drinking diet drinks since I was a kid. If aspartame is carcinogenic I would be ate up with it. These “studies” come to prearranged conclusions for someone’s benefit.

I don’t drink Woka Cola either...
Everything gives you cancer, if you take enough of it for a long enough time.
When cyclamates were banned about that long ago the comments were that the sugar lobby- Big Sugar- had paid off politicians to make it so.
I must have been thinking of cyclamates.
Like saliva…
#30 I see pallets of soda in the sun all the time at grocery stores. The hot sun beating down on the cases. Gotta be higher the 86 degrees before too long.
Sizzle (your brain on Aspartame).
