Gruff 2,800 Report post Posted March 4, 2013 All the literature suggests this may be the case,aspartame has caused cancer in rats in lab tests yet the FDA gave it the all clear.Donald rumsfeld has shares in the company that makes this poison ,and was the man who hired the head of the FDA who rubber stamped it. The new chemical they are using is nomatame which is so strong it doesnt have to be labelled on products because it constitutes a smaller percentage than legal requirements dictate.Consumers beware,if you want to 'diet' dont drink soft drink full stop,and products containing nutri sweet should be researched,but from what ive read should be given a wide berth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uriah Heap 481 Report post Posted March 4, 2013 Yes Gruff, there is plenty of literature about that will tell you that it is sugar and not animal fat that is the cause of our high rates of heart disease and cancer, etc in the Western World. Soft drinks are packed full of sugar and are one of the worst offenders. It's all to do with the body not being able to convert the sugar into energy so it merely becomes "fat", usually around your gut (vital organs). I guess the moral is - Put down that can of Coke and start munching on medium rare T Bone steak. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
