    You’re the type of person who thinks plastics are perfectly safe because they are BPA free.

    Everything is safe until it’s not.

    I remember when doctors used to recommend smoking. I remember when doctors used to prescribe opiates for minor issues.

    Basically, your logic sucks and I have zero reason to listen to you.

      I just love how you end with “I have zero reason to listen to you” when no one has claimed such a thing and you were the one choosing to do the listening.

      All of this because of me pointing out that WHO still claims that there is a daily amount of aspartame that is safe to consume and that the only thing you can prove is that something is unsafe and not the other way around.

      By the way… If you think we should avoid aspartame because there is a suspicion that it might cause cancer I can imagine what you think about sugar, animal fat and protein which there is actual proof that it can cause everything from heart disease to cancer.
