Any sensible Goanetter should know that a physician who has taken the Hippocratic Oath has an ethical duty to provide truthful health-related information from an authentic and credible medical source such as the respected medical journal Lancet or the websites of the U.S. National Cancer Institute or the World Health Organization. Physicians are not supposed to provide unreliable medical information from bogus websites that specialize in crackpot conspiracy theories. For example, please check out the following website provided by the post appended below, claiming that aspartame induces liver and lung cancer:
http://www.infiniteunknown.net/tag/lung/ Any person with simple common sense can figure out that it is not a credible medical website. Indeed, it is a fringe political/ideological website that promotes all kinds of wild conspiracy theories. Its name itself should give you a hint. It is called "Infinite Unknown". Here are the crackpot conspiracies that it is promoting to fool the gullible and the paranoid: 1. That 9/11 was an inside job. http://www.infiniteunknown.net/2010/03/01/former-fbi-senior-special-agent-ted-gunderson-says-911-was-an-inside-job/ 2. That Russian spacecraft landed on the moon before Apollo 11. http://www.infiniteunknown.net/2009/07/05/russian-spacecraft-landed-on-moon-hours-before-nasas-apollo-11/ 3. That HIV and cancers result from vaccines. http://www.infiniteunknown.net/2010/10/23/worlds-leading-vaccine-authority-dr-maurice-hilleman-hiv-and-cancer-come-from-vaccines/ 4. That a Nobel laureate has discovered the scientific basis of homeopathy. http://www.infiniteunknown.net/2010/10/13/nobel-prize-winner-prof-luc-montagnier-discovers-scientific-basis-of-homeopathy/ As for the claim that aspartame causes liver and lung cancers, if you read the research paper it is advertising, you will find that it has nothing to do with human beings or aspartame containing diet drinks or foods. The paper is about giving huge doses of aspartame to mice to find out how high one has to go to increase slightly the number of malignant tumors that are normally produced in male mice as they age. The dose of aspartame that accomplishes this in a statistically significant manner is equivalent to a 70 kg man drinking 2189 diet coke cans everyday throughout his life, with his mother doing the same when she was pregnant with him in her womb. That amounts to drinking one can of diet coke every 39 seconds 24 hours a day from the time one was a fetus till one's death.
