You guys are gonna hate me...but I think we have greater problems then aspartame...i am honestly more concerned about MSG and Alzheimer's then aspartame and whatever.It seems the only concerning aspects are that it metabolizes to aspartic acid which might be an excitotoxin,methanol which is poison and aspartylphenylalanine diketopiperazine which might be carcinogenic OK it doesn't sound to appealing and i sure as hell would like to avoid it...but i don't think it's as dangerous as it shown in this movie...they don't fucking explain anything...I only see lots of accounts of people who suffer from things and blame aspartame,and wtf is it with those people using it like it's the holy grail of healthy living trough chemistry???Of course it's not gonna be healthy for you if you eat kilos of it...what is the point in it??They should put warning labels on the products and some brains in some people.

If our culture was smart they wouldn't be used by anybody,because our culture is not that smart they should be banned but are not and cannabis is illegal...there is something morbidly hilarious about a fat person drinking a over-sized diet coke...

QFT...sad really that this isn't the case...
And it's not nearly as hard...there is no need for laborious research on the side of the consumer.They need to have a bit of trust in the agencies paid to research this substances and to approve them and approach foods and beverages with additives with caution.Why the fuck do people complain about aspartame while still drinking lots of soda is beyond me...it is a known fact that soda is not healthy for you...

Yeah,but that's the thing with living in a community...you have to take the good with the bad...of course there are going to be people who benefit from it more then others, without even being aware of it,but we are here to help each other out even if we'd like to forget about it or if other people make us ashamed for it.We just have to do our part in it and try to better the community however we can.This being said it would be only logical to add some kind of tax to items such as fast-food and tobacco that goes directly to the health-care system to pay for the damage such a lifestyle does.

It's not that bad...it just ain't good...a small tax would indeed go a long way,also just selling it in small containers would be a good idea...so maybe banning everything over a liter would be a smart.It's tasty but there is really no need to drink liters of the stuff.

My head hurts...
It's not like banning soda,maybe I worded it a bit awkwardly,sorry but my English is a bit rusty.It's more like regulating it,you'd still have what you wanted and be able to get it anytime you wanted it it just would be in a way that would be harder to consume large quantities of.That's what I am doing,I stopped buying 2 liter bottles of coke and Pepsi and just buy a small can of it whenever i want a taste,my stomach thanks me.
I am not for banning anything but i don't consider limiting the amount you can buy soda in to be prohibition in any form.Anyway...it's just what works for me.

Dude,chill and go back and read my post.I never said anything about limiting the amount of soda per person,sorry if it got out like that,as i said my english is not that good.What I said was to limit the size of the recipients it comes in so as to make drinking tons of it a bit harder.

It only works when the differences in volume are bigger,like between a 2,5 liter bottle and a 0,33 or 0,5 liter.And yeah,you're right it isn't the brightest idea I've had...it's just that I find it a bit overkill to have bottles of soda so big,or even be served at a fast food with those big-ass cups of soda.

Yeah...but the self-control is the problem...if i have it there i will drink it quicker and so are i belive the majority of people going to do,so for me this is the solution,i buy the smaller cans when i want some even if it's not that economical.
But yeah,you guys are right...this was a stupid idea...no way can this be a solution,well not until the start making the 5 liter soda-bottle.
