Af hverju borðar fólk þetta eitur?

Af hverju kaupir fólk þetta eitur? Nú á tímum þegar auðvelt er að afla sér upplýsinga um alla skapaða hluti ætti öllum að vera ljóst að aspartame er ekkert annað en eitur. Kaupir fólk þetta efni til að styrkja Donald Rumsfeld?

"I have been reading up on this strange chapter in the history of Donald Rumsfeld and have learned two things. One, the chemical additive aspartame is very potentially a cancer and brain tumor-causing substance that has no place in our food. And two, the reasons and means by which Rumsfeld helped get it approved are nefarious at best, criminal at worst."

"Dr. John Olney, who founded the field of neuroscience called excitotoxicity, attempted to stop the approval of aspartame with Attorney James Turner back in 1996. The FDA's own toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross told Congress that without a shadow of a doubt, aspartame can cause brain tumors and brain cancer and that it violated the Delaney Amendment, which forbids putting anything in food that is known to cause cancer. According to the top doctors and researchers on this issue, aspartame causes headache, memory loss, seizures, vision loss, coma and cancer. It worsens or mimics the symptoms of such diseases and conditions as fibromyalgia, MS, lupus, ADD, diabetes, Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue and depression. Further dangers highlighted is that aspartame liberates free methyl alcohol. The resulting chronic methanol poisoning affects the dopamine system of the brain causing addiction. Methanol, or wood alcohol, constitutes one third of the aspartame molecule and is classified as a severe metabolic poison and narcotic. How's that Diet Coke treating you now?"

Heldur fólk virkilega að það grennist ef það borðar þetta ógeð? Er "fólk" einaldlega almennt treggáfað eða á góðu máli, "stúpid"? Ég bara spyr.

Að lokum, gengur einhver ennþá með þá grillu í huganum að úr því að "yfirvöld" leifa þetta, þá hlýtur þetta að vera í lagi? Treystu sjálfum þér, ekki hagsmunaðilum út í bæ sem kalla sig yfirvöld.
