There is a term-- somewhere, I think, in one of the links I provided-- for a person who fixates on a specific cause of all ills in the world. Not Charles, mind you; he's brighter and more balanced. I mean the source of the original insane aspartame letter, and the presumed MD camp follower. They may be right-- the sky IS falling, the Russians ARE coming, and floridation is indeed spoiling Gen. Jack D. Ripper's precious bodily fluids. However, a monomanical fixation on something like this is silly. Clearly the woman who started it is nuts-- she's adopted an "MD" to her name to prove that she knows what she's talking about.
The problem with this-- shouting "Fire!" when you fall into the chocolate-- is that there really are a lot of people who simply believe it, parrot it, and fan the insanity outward. Precisely this sort of thing happened (in a sociological rather than a quasi-medical way) with the McMartin Pre-School affair. That whole thing began with one certifiably disturbed woman weaving paranoid fantasies and telling other parents. Well-meaning "specialists" leaped in and believed all the insane stories-- secret tunnels beneath a one-story California house-- jet plane rides to the moon-- "naked movie star" games in the play area in front of everyone else. aSeveral lives were ruined, innocent people were bankrupted, millions of tax dollars were spent... on nothing... and it all began with a schizophrenic woman.
One reason why I still use Equal. However, I am using it half-in-half with sugar now, just to be safe...

I'm 55, have a full head of hair with a little gray, and my neck's fine. You should smoke Marlboros. That'll help. (Tofu? Ohhh, gawwwddd!!!)
