Why did you post this in two different forums?

People here are very aware of the alleged dangers of aspartame.

Complete bollox- this has been argued to death in the diet section with the conclusion (same as the more recent studies) that aspartame is fine.

The old studies have been found to be inaccurate.
There is more formaldehyde and methanol( these products are what aspartame breaks down to) in one tomato than 200 cans of soda.

"Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true."

Excuse the fact that I posted one more than one section.
I thought it to be important enough to make sure as much "forum" ground could be covered as possible...cant hurt can it?

And yes, formaldehyde and methanol are in tomato's but there is a difference.

1st.

"Methanol is a metabolic poison which, in the absence of ethanol (such as in fruits) is unstable and breaks down into formladehyde, a poison and carcinogen, and formic acid, also a poison and carcinogen"
The upper safe limit of Methanol is 7.5mg....three cans of diet cola equate to 56mg of free methanol which the body CAN NOT PROCESS...

Aspartame gets past the blood brain barrier and thus Absorbing aspartame through gum is even worse....I know its easier to just poopoo it all and live on blindly, but the fact is, ASPARTAME IS NOT safe. The FDA themselves documented 92 known side affects attributed to this chemical.
This is a copy of the original documenyt.

As fas as "studies" on the toxicity of this chemical are concerned, well, there have been numerous peer revue's of recent studies that have concluded the same.

I invite educated informed comments on the issue to enlighten me on where I may have been msinformed.
