#520 - Brain Cancer Update
I will see if I can track down the literature and see what basis the of
the claim "may cause brain cancer" is.
data for the supposition that aspertame may cause brain cancer
(reference 10) dates to the early nineties. Surely in ten years there
should be more conclusive results. This is no more valid than me
saying handling biodiesel causes cancer- give me time and I will show
conclusively that some individuals who handle biodiesel get cancer.
Does than make it a risk
I will see if I can track down the literature and see what basis the of
the claim "may cause brain cancer" is.
So what you are saying John, and I'll let Bob speak for himself, is
that you are absolutely sure and willing to guarantee beyond all
shadow of doubt to anyone and everyone on the face of the planet that
there are no ramifications to be had from consumption of aspartame?
Not by anyone? Of any physiological disposition? At any level? Not
during any periods of gestation? Not in conjunction with any other
supplements, drugs or dietary predilections?
To follow up on that thought, are you willing to bet your life on it
as well? After all, you are essentially betting the lives of others
on the premise of your opinion/belief and any recommendation derived
therefrom.

Bob,
I'm at a bit of a loss with this one. Don't suppose you would care
to qualify your opinion with something more than "quack, quack"
would you? As I recall the last time I visited the aspartame issue
(researched it for several weeks, up one side and down the other)
the problems and concerns were very real. Aspartame hasn't changed.
Human biology hasn't changed.
We both know that just because something has found its way onto the
shelf and been assigned a status of "below regulatory concern" by a
very biased institutional process that doesn't somehow make reality
disappear.
Something a little more "concrete" from someone other than Donald
Rumsfeld would serve well at the moment.

Nothing personal to you but all I can say about Mercola is QUACK,
QUACK. see for example his totally bogus, nonscientific diatribe
about aspertame. It is right up there with other wackos such as
Betty Martini.
