    Nice to see fear mongering among the food haters is still alive and well. Next they'll be saying peanuts cause cancer or that milk makes you a cereal killer.

    I always have milk with my cereal, does that prove that milk has made me a cereal killer?

    With the post-and-leave tactic I am starting to get the suspicion that OP was trolling.

    Whatever you want to call it, there's a lot of evidence to support it's relationship to brain tumors.
    I think any sweetener made in a chemistry lab is suspect anyways...if I need a sweetener I'll take honey. The calories are as real as the sweetener.

    A lot of evidence such as...

    You see, this is how misinformation spreads.

    I didn't know that bacteria were part of the process. That's so cool! It's awesome how we can take a "scary" bacteria like E. Coli and make it useful. I know someone who is doing research on how to get bacteria to eat toxic waste. It's an awesome world we live in.

    Bioremediation holds a ton of promise. JBEI (pronounced J-Bay) in the bay area doing a lot of good work there

    link to evidence?

    Why can't you just like posts here?
    Also: just because people repeat that there is evidence doesn't make this true

    Who cares if people want to eat/drink aspartame? There just isn't enough survival of the fittest anymore. If it's dangerous, it will simply allow self-selected culling from the herd. I think what bothers me the most about this is that we live in a world where some people don't have enough to eat and others have so much that they need to take the calories out of their food to enjoy non-nutritive substances. They have a right to enjoy non-nutritional food stuffs, so let them! Gluttony. Third world problems are so different than first world problems.

    Aspartame is unlikely to remove someone from the population before they have the opportunity to reproduce, so natural selection doesn't really work here. JS

    All I got out of this is that the OP isn't very bright and likes to sensationalize (but mostly the former).

    I wonder if mentioning that recombinent antigens that make up most vaccine formulations are by OP's definition "e.coli fecal matter" would make the anti-GMO crowd and the anti-vaccer crowd unite into a single group. It is hard to eye-roll at two groups at the same time much better if they just joined up and peddled their fear-based pseudoscience as a single unit.

    Clearly you've never heard of the great mentos-cola masacar of '09 that took 23 frat and sorority out of the gene pool before their time. The dangers of soda people. Don't drink that *kitten* or you risk exploding.

    I was waiting to see if anyone noticed that. Not one of my better jokes i admit but it's a slow friday lol. Love the red panda in your counter by the way. I'd honestly be more afraid of vaccines than something in my soda, the quality control is way better.

    Yeah all joking aside I do not want to have that conversation in here as it ends up pissing me off real quick. The aspartame thing I can see the humor in, the vaccine thing I don't find amusing.

    Laugh it up all you want but there is plenty of evidence about the dangers of pop rocks and soda none of which I am going to bother to cite appropriately. The truth is out there.
