"Aspartame is poison" [View All]

I was told this recently, IRL. Also that apparantly it was developed an offshoot of some bioweapon research..:wtf: I know there is some Donald Rumsfeld connection (he was an investor in the company who invented it right?) Apparantly even in RL, my creds as a biologist count for nothing. This person also insisted that saccharine is teh evul as well, not realizing its been cleared as a carcinogen.
Interesting though, this person gave away the food with Aspartame away to friends. If you were convinced it was poison wouldn't you throw it away?:shrug:

On edit: commentating on this, my boss with a PhD in neurolgy commentated that it can't hurt you unless you have no blood brain barrier...but who trusts a biologist?:eyes:
