Aspartame was banned by the FDA twice

[SchlongConery]

ou are missing the point Ceiling Cat. You are the one who attributed your opinion re the aspirin claim to Dr. Schwarcz. Now you are saying that unless someone can dig up all his words, that it must be true?

As to the aspirin issue.

Aspirin is indeed a very powerful drug with broad applications. IF it were introduced today, it would not likely be approved as an over the counter medication due to its anti-coagulant effect among other things. And its anti-coagulant effect is definitely a benefit! It is just that perhaps if you already had a vitamin K deficiency or other blood clotting issue, then you might not be prescribed aspirin.

But to infer that it is something that "would not be approved" is just uninformed talk.

Are you up to your old tricks again, Rubby? Get the old hate fest rolling and then step back for some poor shmo like Simon to get banned when he gets to enthusiastic?

Pretty busy these days, Rubby. Can't play much with you.

BTW, keep up the good work on building up almost 500 post in just a few weeks.

And Rumsfeld is a reptilian Illuminati working for the Zionists.

To say that Aspirin wouldn’t pass FDA today just because it is both an effective analgesic and an effective anti-coagulant at the same time, is possible, but outside my sphere of knowledge.
But I gather that you and I agree that despite possible contraindications in the treatment of young children, Apsirin is perfectly safe, and remains near the top of the list of the most widely tested drugs in history.

Aspartame is also perfectly safe. Just like the hundreds of other additives that we consume daily, to make our food a nicer color, a more pleasing texture, and to last longer.

A person with a perfectly stable weight, but who begins drinking one can of sugared coke per day, (133 sugar calories) will pack on 13 pounds a year.

The links to sugared drinks and obesity are clearly established.

Maybe a young, dumb guy like Carvher, who claims to be a regular workout guy, can eat all the sugar he wants. But most people can’t. And Carvher? Get back to us in twenty years, okay?
By the way, what do you do when you get a headache? Somehow, I don’t think you chew willow bark. I’ll bet you put “artificial shit” in your body instead, whenever it suits you.

I never said sugar was good for you. I said that you would have to be a fucking idiot to think that aspartame was better for you than sugar.

I never thought that any body could get so offended by that statement.
You must be either a cola company exec or a fat fuck who drinks a lot of diet drinks thinking he's going to lose weight.
The fact you can't spell makes me think your the latter.

Tell me honestly Robinto, have you lost any weight yet?

Nonsense, the only way to gain weight is to consume more calories than you expand - it doesn't matter what form your calories take.
