With the furor over aspartame who'd think the majority of people have
some issue with it. No, only a small minority.

I find the claim of addiction silly for aspartame,


You have not yet encountered someone who gets a couple of weeks of
headaches worse than caffeine withdrawal when they stop taking
aspartame. That happens with my wife. She's in the small minority who
have problems with aspartame.

With all the other problems in the world, this would seem to be minor.


It happens enough that Dr A included it in the Q-n-A section of his 1999
edition. It occurs often enough to consider it a suspect when there are
problems. I have no idea what percentage that is, probably closer to 1%
than to any higher number.

What exactly did Atkins say about aspartame addiction or withdrawl? I
only recall him saying that from his clinical experience he believed
it could inhibit weight loss in some people and that he prefered other
artificial sweetners.

Regarding the alleged evils of aspartame, using Wikipedia, which
anyone with any agenda can freely edit, is not a compelling source.
In particular, the study cited that showed an adverse reaction in
psychiatric patients was a study of a whopping 14 patients, including
the control group. They halted it because of alleged adverse
reactions, which means it's based on the results of just a very few
individuals. It would seem to me that if aspartame was causing this
severe of a reaction in mental patients with depression, it would be
widely observed and acknowledged by others by now.

No specific date has been set, but Valve promies "in the coming weeks", so we are very close to new content.

Anyway, pieces of cake were distributed today at work. They did
everything to convince me to have one or more pieces. I said, "No
thanks. Giving me cake is liking offering a beer to a friend who is
A.A." I'm very happy with me!

Do you have a free day? a day where you eat what you want on it?
