- Acceptance of health treatment claims that are not adequately supported by evidence. I dislike it when people sell ineffective and even harmful alternative health products to exploit the desperation of people with chronic illness.
I didn't "fault you for your opinion". I simply responded to some of the claims you made about a product. I acknowledged that you find it is bad for your body. That doesn't mean it is "unsafe" for everyone. I think you have misunderstood me, and the other poster who responded about it. That's fine.Sigh... If you aren't in the USA it won't matter because it only applies to us here. Not sure where you think people are being told that it was bad because in actuality people are being told it is safe. So the numbers of people who aren't drinking it may have come to that determination themselves or maybe not . As far as being told by our regulating agencies it is said that it is completely safe as you continue to state yourself. Some people would rather be safe than sorry and I can't see how anyone would argue that . I never had a clue when I stopped consuming it that it was an issue and I found it out alone . My children will not be consuming it . I have tooooo many illnesses that cannot be explained to take a chance when there are alternatives . I honestly do not understand why you continue to fault me for my opinion. Drink your drinks and sweeteners all you want . It won't change my experience .
This article has some links to studies about aspartame, and covers what happened with Pepsi:
