Yes it does - just because there are occasional outliers doesn't invalidate the statement.i really don't think that has anything to do with high school.

Actually, there are plenty of facts out that indicate Splenda may not be particularly good for you. I've read all the FDA reports on Splenda, and those aren't even the ongoing studies - those are just the released studies when it was initially approved.Some people would call that responsible.
Until some facts come out, don't be spreading retarded rumors.
I agree completely. Thank you.The fact of the matter is that we DON'T KNOW ...
Nice way to take it out of context. We don't know... but there is nothing about chlorocarbons that is good for you and there is plenty of reason to believe that consumption in the long term could be bad for you. What you're suggesting is that without ALL the evidence of a long term study and unless someone has bashed you over the head with the results, there is no reason to suggest it MIGHT be unsafe. Well, gee, I bet if you start dunking crackers in gasoline, it won't kill you very quickly. After all, you aren't drinking much of it, and nobody's done a long term study to suggest it might be unhealthy...I agree completely. Thank you.
Just goes to show you all we should really be drinking is water, milk, wine and beer.
Arghghghghghghghgh! oster_oops:You forgot espresso.
How could you?
Dammit. I am going to get one right now.Arghghghghghghghgh! oster_oops:
Replace milk with vodka and whiskey and I'm right there with you.Just goes to show you all we should really be drinking is water, milk, wine and beer.
Double or quad?Dammit. I am going to get one right now.
Smart azz posts coming up in a few....
a lot more people than you'd think. not by choice, but for work. When i was in pharmaceutical we lived and died by those things. The primary bulk of the work I did was testing to meet FDA regulations for packaging (and corresponding product safety).Who actually reads FDA reports?
Meh....Who actually reads FDA reports?
Abstract said:Artificial sweeteners are added to a wide variety of food, drinks, drugs and hygiene products. Since their introduction, the mass media have reported about potential cancer risks, which has contributed to undermine the publics sense of security. It can be assumed that every citizen of Western countries uses artificial sweeteners, knowingly or not. A cancer-inducing activity of one of these substances would mean a health risk to an entire population. We performed several PubMed searches of the National Library of Medicine for articles in English about artificial sweeteners. These articles included first generation sweeteners such as saccharin, cyclamate and aspartame, as well as new generation sweeteners such as acesulfame-K, sucralose, alitame and neotame. Epidemiological studies in humans did not find the bladder cancer-inducing effects of saccharin and cyclamate that had been reported from animal studies in rats. Despite some rather unscientific assumptions, there is no evidence that aspartame is carcinogenic. Casecontrol studies showed an elevated relative risk of 1.3 for heavy artificial sweetener use (no specific substances specified) of >1.7 g/day. For new generation sweeteners, it is too early to establish any epidemiological evidence about possible carcinogenic risks. As many artificial sweeteners are combined in todays products, the carcinogenic risk of a single substance is difficult to assess. However, according to the current literature, the possible risk of artificial sweeteners to induce cancer seems to be negligible.
Key words: aspartame, cancer, cyclamate, saccharin, sweeteners
I am with Opie on this one, but i do have a couple facts here for everyone. I recently dropped 75 lbs in A five month diet, and let me give some facts about diet and regular soda.Wow!
Some people would call that responsible.

Plus, if you're not drinking water with a squeeze of fresh lemon in it, then you don't really have any ground to stand on as it's all crap.
Someone who worked for a medical device manufacturerWho actually reads FDA reports?
this was point in the first place! (i used to have roommates that would have pop with their cereal. i would throw up in my mouth)I do agree with alot of what others have said, really people a Pop is a treat not your main hydration, People should be drinking more water, more fruit juices, also people need to just get out and do something to stay active. ANyways tahts my peice, continue with rant
I agree with the rest of your post, but just wanted to say that's awesome! And a substantial amount for a short period of time.I recently dropped 75 lbs in A five month diet...
aspartame makes my tongue get all puffy.Diet Soda has aspartame in it...very very bad for you...its almost like methonal....go drink some meth instead of diet coke, lol
Splenda has electrolytes. It's what plants crave.My sister still works for the company that produces it (I used to work there as well). They still have ongoing investigations as to whether or not its actually safe.
Haha, sounds like running cross country or racing XC. Eat anything and everything!werd up. try swimming too, that's a great way to drop some weight, and get SUPER fit. also helps with riding.
I used to swim competitively and when I was in high school i was the same height I am now (6') and was about 150lbs instead of my current 200. My dr told me my body fat % was too low and he told me to eat more. Then he found out I was eating 5 full meals a day to stay at my weight. I had 2 daily practices, 1hr in the Am before school, then 3 hrs in the afternoon, for weekdays. Saturday was 4 hr practice and sunday was rest day. Totally nuts. but i was in great shape and ate literally whatever I wanted.
jeez do you have to live up to that title all the timeStick your head in the sand if you want to. I'd rather learn a little about what goes into my body, though.
or someone who worked in the health food industryWho actually reads FDA reports?
Id rather drink the puss from the sores of a dead bums asscrack than diet soda.
mmmm richmonds wings! i actually found a bar down the street that is sorta comparable to richmonds... in a way. its pretty divey and they have awesome wings. and i'm dying without Yuengling. I grew up on that sh*t.Haha, sounds like running cross country or racing XC. Eat anything and everything!
As for the post, welcome to Southern California. Just wait until they start hitting you with the low-carb tofu wraps with organic bean sprout juice. You'll blow a gasket and move back to the good life of Yeungling beer and Richmond's buffalo wings in the ROC.
Here is your answer.so I just went down to the vending machines to get my afternoon caffeine kicker (don't give me sh*t - oh coffee blah blah, coffee is my morning drink). I get there and my jaw drops. Every single Button is for DIET soda (pop/what have you). ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! Why is such a big damn deal to drink diet vs regular? It dumbfounds me that people will drink that crap over the regular stuff just to save like 100 calories. What happened to exercising and being active to stay in shape? Why cut corners with your diet to compensate? If you're that lazy, you deserve to be fat. While I'm on the topic, I also despise the following:
-Sugar Substitutes (Splenda, Equal, Sweet'n'lo). Seriously gross. I used to work for the company that makes splenda. Not something I wanna put in my body.
-Margarine. Chemically, its closer to plastic than food products.
-Anything 'lite' Eff that.
Give me my extra calories. Give me my sugary drinks. Give me my fatty butter. Hell I don't even trim the fat off my steaks. Its f*cking delicious. I'll burn it all off on my bike or in the ocean.

I don't really drink much soda but if I do it's Diet Coke. I don't notice much difference in taste compared to regualr Coke,
25+ grams of refined sugar or HFCS will do worse things to your body than .6 grams of artificial sweetener. That much sugar (especially when combined with caffeine) will spike your blood sugar level only to make them drop off dramatically shortly thereafter. The chemical in Splenda is approximately 30 times sweeter than sugar, and that's how come Diet beverages have virtually zero calories. They need only less than 1 gram of sweetener to match the taste of a regualr soft drink. You would have to drink massive quantities of diet soda to cause yourself harm from the miniscule amount of artificial sweeteners they contain.yeah my girlfriend and aunts drink diet soda's, it pisses me off when ever i go to get a soda and it says diet. diets horrible for you, damn fake sugar and stuff, i'd rather be fat than have my insides being eaten by some fake sugar.
I'm staying plenty lean and I don't have to eat/drink all that diet crap. And if you're using Ti bolts to save a few grams on your bike, you're probably jacking off to it on a scale more than you're actually riding it.You neglect to take into account people like me who already have well below 10% body fat but intend to stay lean. It's kind of like lightening up your bike, one Ti bolt doesn't seem like much but when you apply that mentality across the board you end with a noticable effect.
You know what's funny about it is that when I was a kid I could not stand Diet sodas. They gave me headache. I didn't have one for probably 20 years, until about 6 months ago. I had a Diet Coke and it was fine. Ever since I've had maybe one every other week or so. I don't drink many beverages other than water, tea and red wine but I'm not tripping on a diet soda here and there.
Have your tastebuds been burned off with a blowtorch at some point in your life?
I jack off to my bike daily and I never ride it.I'm staying plenty lean and I don't have to eat/drink all that diet crap. And if you're using Ti bolts to save a few grams on your bike, you're probably jacking off to it on a scale more than you're actually riding it.
The point is the same, if you really care that much, then its an obsession for the sake of being able to talk/brag about numbers. IDK about you, but I can't tell the difference between a 44lb dh bike and a 45lb dh bike, so IMO why waste the time/energy/money? All I care about is that I'm riding and how much fun I'm having. Same with food, all I care is that I'm eating, and its tasty.
You should do a side-by-side of Diet Coke and regular. If you can't tell a difference you should consider seeing a doctor.You know what's funny about it is that when I was a kid I could not stand Diet sodas. They gave me headache.
