Aspartame breakdown into methanol (wood alcohol) CAN and I'm sure DOES affect the human mind (even in small doses) not to mention what formaldehyde and formic acid in low doses may do to the nervous system. Clinton not affected? How many other Presidents have ever had blowjobs from interns in the Oval Office? Was his moral judgement impaired by something? Alcohol does lower inhibitions you know...(and especially if you're unaware that you have any in your system you might not realize later why you did something)
You say Dr. Bowen's figures are flat out untrue. Can you provide your source of information to verify your claim or am I to take what you say with full blind faith?
How about you drink a 12 pack a day of Diet Coke for a few weeks and see what happens? I know some people who live on pop and never drink water. What effect do you think this has on the human mind? Put a Burger King Whopper with everything on it and fries and pickles in a bowl and pour a large Diet Coke over it in the bowl and then see if you wanna eat it.
Case closed, as far as I'm concerned. We again agree to disagree (like UFO threads) but as I said drink all you want,Ted and enjoy. Whatever floats (or sinks) your boat.
