ASPARTAME: Something you should know!!

I stood up and said that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject.

>sclerosis and systemic lupus. Many people were being diagnosed in error.
>Although multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence... methanol toxicity

>Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis

>In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, (when in reality,

This is a serious problem. Dr. Esparto (one of my speakers) remarked

And you didnt know this already? Anything with added sugar/sugar free on it avoid at all costs. Sugar is waaaay bad stuff for your body. Jeebus, the amount of people that wander around with no clue as to whats not good for them. (says he smoking twenty a day).

Pfft.

This being, you know, a Humanities issue, and not a "Forward this to all your friends, it's important and REALLY TRUE, I SWEAR!!!!!!!!11111one!"-type collection of typographical diarrhoea.

I particularly like the way the greater-than signs were kept in, to lend it that authentic spamlike feel.

*looks around at all the empty ciggarette boxes*

I think I'm in the lead...

First one to cancer wins!!

To the OP, cut and paste into word first then get it to remove all the >'s. Looks a lot better that way.

And if you believe everything you read in your email, you need help tbh.

Aspartame has been rigorously tested as a result of such scares and as a result its safety profile has been proven to be even safer than thought!

There was a paper which supposed a link to cancer with excessive aspartame use, but after the stuff that circulated above, it was even more thoroughly investigated and that link was completely dissolved.

Don't believe all you hear, verify any medicalish information on this website medlineplus.gov

Its run by the national institute of health in america.
