You will never consume Aspartame again.

Valid point, but lets also consider 2nd hand smoke or just the air we breathe like curt said. could be far worse than this issue.

Death is worse than both, but that's not the point. Many things can be far worse.

So do we just drink water and stare out the window in boredom until science finds a better alternative?

Yeah,the water that is treated sewage.One way or another you will ingest,inhale or come into physical contact with nasties.It's this germophobia and obsession with sterility among other things that actually weakens us ,in my opinion.A friend of mine owns a store in a nearby neighbourhood,you should see how pissed off people are when he runs out of over the counter medicines.Like we always needed medication even for the slightest infection or whatever.

I don't suffer from being germaphobic and I agree with you regarding how such sterility can weaken our immune systems. Just last night I dropped some food on the floor and was so hungry I just grabbed it and ate it. I am a neat freak so the floors were clean

My girlfriend and everyone in her family are the first ones to go ask their doctor for antibiotics whenever they don't feel well. They are always sick. They have no immune system.

We do need to keep our immune systems in top shape but I don't want to use Aspartame as one way of doing it. Much like stress, without it we die and too much kills us, the end is the same.

Regarding the sewage in the water, fortunately we have a well with no sewage, just a lot of freaking iron that is expensive to remove.

Let's name them all. :-)

Seriously, reminds me of a joke.

What's worse than falling 20 stories from a skyscraper?

Catching your eye on a rusty nail on the way down.

Here is a handy little FDA guide that lets you know how much rat poop, roach feces and human hair is legally in your food.

Anybody seen the catsup bottle?

Yeah I always thought it was funny that there is an acceptable amount.

Wasn't directed at you personally,just the general population.Because you said you had a well for your water supply,Im assuming you live in a peri-urban or rural area.You wouldn't happen to use a septic tank/soak away system for your sewerage would you?If you did there's really no saying what could be finding it's way into the source that feeds the well,you could chlorinate it though I suppose.As for the sweeteners,what are the/your options again assuming you aren't using sweeteners or refined sugars ?

Here is an entire colony of them for you.

These aren't the genetically modified ones so they probably won't be sweet.

Bring them on. It's like how aspartame can turn into formaldehyde. If you drank like 50 sodas a day. Everything will kill you in some form or another, can't be scared of everything

Haha. I could preserve my ass forever.

It's not a matter of being scared. Just the thought that someone came up with genetically modifying fucking e.coli bacteria and sell their excrements and not disclose it.
