Its a good thing I love me some ice water. I need to find one of those big insulated mugs, like they give out in hospitals. I bring an insulated cup to work filled with ice water, and just refill it with water later... its not nearly large enough.

Going to link some stuff from science based medicine website:

http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/...eeteners-safe/

Scientific Studies Aspartame has been found to be safe for human consumption by the regulatory agencies of more than ninety countries worldwide, with FDA officials describing aspartame as “one of the most thoroughly tested and studied food additives the agency has ever approved” and its safety as “clear cut.”

When the European Commission’s Scientific Committee on Food evaluated aspartame, (http://ec.europa.eu/food/fs/sc/scf/out155_en.pdf) they found over 500 papers on aspartame published between 1988 and 2001. It has been studied in animals, in various human populations including infants, children, women, obese adults, diabetics, and lactating women. Numerous studies have ruled out any association with headaches, seizures, behavior, cognition, mood, allergic reactions, and other conditions. It has been evaluated far more extensively than any other food additive.

When new rat studies by the Ramazzini Foundation in Italy (http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/topics/topic/aspartame.htm) appeared to show an association with tumors, the European Food Safety Authority examined Ramazzini’s raw data and found errors that made them discredit the studies. Their updated opinion based on all the data available in 2009 said there was no indication of any genotoxic or carcinogenic potential of aspartame and that there was no reason to revise their previously established ADI (Acceptable Daily Intake) for aspartame of 40 mg/kg/day. Studies have shown that actual consumption is well below that limit.

People who are absolutely convinced they get adverse effects from aspartame have been proven wrong. For instance, the New England Journal of Medicine published a study (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3657889) of people who reported having headaches repeatedly after consuming aspartame. When they knew what they were consuming, 100% of them had headaches. In a double blind crossover trial, when they didn’t know what they were getting, 35% had headaches after aspartame, and 45% had headaches after placebo.

With this said, I have no doubt that people in this thread will still maintain their very strong belief that they are correct and no amount of scientific evidence will sway them. They want to believe that the world is out to get them, so they invent ridiculous conspiracy theories and hold onto them with a death-grip, regardless of evidence.

shrug.

and that's just one of the many articles outlining why aspartame is bad.

keep blindly following your corporate overlords, though. i'm sure one day, they'll repay you.
