Just found this one, Monsanto’s problems are only starting.
They are also the a**clowns who dropped aspartame on the market. Turns into formaldehyde in the bloodstream.
I hope they haven’t doomed the food supply for years. Yields are already down.
I’m sure, like all enormo-conglomerates, they only have our best interests at heart.
Monsanto wound up selling off aspartame to another company a few years ago. They’d be suing that company now, not Monsanto.
You can sprinkle aspartame on top of an ant hill and it will kill off that colony. That’s what it was originally destined for, the scientist who worked on it originally was trying to develop a better insect killer. As a neurotoxin, it works.
They have ruined the food supply already.
There is little concern over formaldehyde in the bloodstream from aspartame.
From what I can gather, a liter of soda sweetened only with aspartame provides 160 mg of converted methanol. Almost all sodas now on the market combine aspartame with acesulfame potassium or Splenda, further reducing the aspartame amount. The FDA states that 500 mg of methanol a day is considered safe.
We get methanol from foods we eat already. One source I’ve read states that some of these fruits and vegetables with methanol are countered with other chemicals they contain. If so, and if we only need to worry about aspartame-sweetened beverages, then we should have no more than 3 liters of aspartame-only sweetened beverages a day, or some larger amount of sodas with multiple sweeteners.

Prove it.
There are mountains and mountains of surpluses and mountains of data that say otherwise.
I should be well preserved, then. But I am not. So it must be just certain blood types.
