No doubt. There's a lot of truth in the article, despite a Phd BS opinion. Aspartame is a great example of short term "comfort" for long term trouble. My mother started to use the stuff because she was concerned about a bit of added weight. Her and all her "friends" started to.
They all started the same weekly excercise program. About six months into it, weight gain, in the form of fat, had increased. Finally, I was able to convince my mother, about a year into use, to stop it. Much better to use sugar, and just put an extra emphasis on cleaning the body. In three months, she was able to drop all the "extra" weight. Her friends, on the same excercise regime, continue to either maintain or gain. They all work 12 hour shifts, four to six days a week, on their feet all day, and they all work out three times weekly. I'm constantly amazed how chemists seem know so little about the body. I'm constantly amazed how people turn to "authority figures" for their answers instead of better questions ). As far as I'm concerned, use of aspartame falls into the "pill popping" cure category - in fact, into the pill popping that doesn't work category. ----- Original Message ----- From: James Osbourne, Holmes <a...@cybermesa.com> To: <silver-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2001 4:20 PM Subject: RE: CS>Aspartame: Is there Reliable Research that Supports the Conclusions Below?

I showed this article [privately] to a close Chemistry PHD friend a couple of years ago who runs a new drug research department for a major pharmaceutical company [name and company withheld but I can pick up the phone and call him or e-mail him any time] I don't remember much of the specific the gobbledegook but he was very familiar with aspartame and what it did in the body. He didn't seem too alarmed and pointed out several untruths, half truths, distortions and misconceptions in the article. A couple of items gave him some pause to think. All in all, most of the article seems to be hogwash with a possible kernel of truth. Personally, I don't like the stuff because it tastes like s**t.
