OMG EVEN READING THE WORD "ASPARTAME" WILL GIVE YOU CANCER, MAKE YOU GO BALD AND CAUSE PREMATURE EJACULATION.

Fuck you guys, I'm gonna start smoking again. And driving too fast. And eating predator fish. Fuck the fish, I'm just gonna crack thermometers and pour the mercury on ice cream.

Oh Cory. You're such a free spirit.

I love reading arguments like this. Everybody goes on and on and on about the "dangers" of some basically innocuous food or drink. How many of you drink more than the doctor-okayed, what is it, one drink of alcohol a day? How many of you smoke? If you do either of these you are doing just as much damage, and probably a hell of a lot more by several magnitudes, than drinking friggin' Diet Coke will ever do to you. You know, alcohol? The stuff that cleaning fluids are made out of? It's not real good for you either, but you all seem to have absolutely no problems with people taking in many multiples of the recommended maximum dosage. You know what smoking and drinking do to your lungs and liver, respectively, right? We've all seen the pictures. If you aren't worried about what two very well-known, widely recognized dangers are doing to your body, then you've got no reason to worry about what a little aspartame very tentatively might be doing to you.

Preach on Brother! I do so much that is unhealthy for me it's pointless to split hairs about what's gonna kill me.

Dammit. Mercury is harder to get on the spoon than I thought. This shit is challenging.

I drink, at most, one alcoholic beverage a day. I don't smoke. I don't use drugs. I don't eat pork. I don't eat fast food. Next.

If I was you and I didn't live to 90, I would be pissed.

Yeah, it was pretty funny. My sister read something about dryer throw-ins and how they release carcinogens into the air. While I was doing laundry. So I said, 'that's pretty funny, coming from you'. She said, 'actually, I don't use them any more'. And I pointed out that she still smoked, drank, etc.

Personally, my big vice is the occasional beef, but my alcohol and caffeine intake is severely low (less than one drink a day -- more like once in a blue moon; caffeine is of the form of one black and three green teas/day or so). So yes, I do practise what I preach.

I just wish Tom would -- he's talking about the nastiness of prescription drugs, and he's obviously heavily recreationally medicated.

Yeah, I agree it's boring when you have nothing left to nit-pick.

FWIW, I lived about as hard as one can without using hard drugs from when I was 19 to when I was 23.

I'm not saying that people shouldn't do one thing or another, I'm just saying the shit is bad for you. I'm not preachy about anything. You wanna smoke, drink, etc. fine with me.

Please tell me you didn't have any Diet Coke during this time.

nah, I can't stand the taste of diet coke. I probably had two or three out of necessity at some diabetic's house though. I drank about 5 cans a day of real coke though. My stomach lining is probably paper thin

I drink more than 1 beer a day.

In the interests of science, I will, beginning tomorrow, start ingesting massive quantities of aspartame each and every day. I will report my findings to all of you.
