No more aspartame in Diet Pepsi

[Dick Whitman]

If we ban aspartame, maybe life expectancies can finally start going up instead of down.

Just like the dramatic drop in autism we saw after removing thimerosal from vaccines.

That post demonstrates ignorance. Aspartame doesn't live in a health vacuum. Life expectancy was increasing as cigarette smoking prevalence went up, too. Therefore, in deck's world, "cigarette smoking is safe, safe, safe."

You're right, Ragu. I'm so dumb.

Anyone with the intellectual curiosity to look something up on the Internet is just an idiot unworthy of Goo's time.

Arguing over which is better for you - diet or regular soda - is like arguing who has the fastest Dodge Caravan. They're carbonated shirt water loaded with chemicals that have names you've never seen anywhere else. If you truly had an interest in a healthy drink you should probably drink water.

Seems like your best bet, doesn't it?

Diet pop is 1,000 times "better" for you than regular, 240-calorie pop. It's not close. It's not a Dodge Caravan against a Dodge Caravan. Comparatively, it's a Ferrari against a Model T.

Now you just sound crazy. Show me one doctor who encourages their patients to drink any kind of soda and I'll show you a forking qwack.

Instead of regular pop?

All of them.

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

They.
Both.
Suck.

And if you care about your health you aren't imbibing too many of them.

Why the heck is this so hard?
