But we all know this so it’s not really relevant. Aspartame isn’t something people are educated about 

And we all agree it’s a bad idea to feed alcohol to children.  However plenty of parents think they are doing the right thing by opting for ‘sugar free’

Aspartame is just the tip of the iceberg; look what's starting to emerge about Utra-Processed Food.

If it ain't natural don't put it in ya gob!

I have always avoided sweeteners. They were peddled by the big companies as saving us from the evils of sugar, despite indications years ago that they were toxic. I sincerely hope they pay for that.

  It will all be insignificant when they admit the damage that micro plastics cause. They have permeated the world and will perhaps be our demise.

[sime42]

I don't think anyone quite knows the extent of the damage yet, needless to say it'll be huge though. Since they have permeated the whole world now, it's impossible to avoid microplastics. At least with crappy "food" you can choose whether or not to eat it.

Yep, I totally agree with that.. they were allowed into the food chain in 1981 when Donald Rumsfeld nobbled the panel of scientists that had repeatedly refused to sanction their use due to the fact that they made holes in the brain tissue of the rats they were tested on.

 

Intellectual impairment is now cited as one of the main side effects of this poison along with obesity.

 

Unfortunately I think that it's humanity that's paying for it, cheers.

It's not just the brain, it damages lots of different organs, and causes all sorts of cancers.
