Does this mean I shouldn't be enjoying my afternoon diet cokes?

[falafel]

I don't know, but what about my breakfast diet cokes?!

No, it means Dr. Hull has found a way to make money wihtout practicing medicine.

As a doctor, I think it's very bad form to call oneself a doctor when talking about medical issues. People assume you're a physician, and not a PhD in Nutrition.

December 7, 1987. Patty Crain was a beautiful girl. She enjoyed a normal and healthy life until she mysteriously dropped dead at age twenty-three. Cause: Death Unknown. Patty's mother, Betty Hailand, witnessed the tragedy evolve.

Patty was Betty's adopted daughter. She was the 'All-American girl.' Suddenly out of nowhere, Patty developed eye problems, experiencing blurred vision accompanied by bad headaches. Betty took Patty to have her eyes examined. The doctor found nothing wrong with her eyesight. Patty and Betty were frustrated because they knew something was wrong.

One day after work, Patty returned to her apartment complaining that her vision was intolerably blurred, and she was experiencing unbearable head pain. She progressively grew worse through the night and willingly admitted herself to the hospital emergency room early the next morning. The E.R. doctor diagnosed Patty with a common case of the flu. He routinely ordered medication for her nausea, immediately prescribed IVs to be administered to her while in the E.R. for severe dehydration (she required three IVs), and sent her home after they had done all they could for her. She was told to drink plenty of liquids, which she always did - plenty of diet drinks. She went home and drank countless diet colas to sate her dehydration.

Two days later, Patty's health was returning to normal. Two days after that, Patty was dead on the floor of her apartment. Apparently, she died while home from work around 4:00 P.M. Her hands tightly clinched and her tongue sharply bitten. Empty diet drink cans scattered throughout her apartment.

There was no official cause for the grand mal seizure that ended Patty's life at age twenty-three, but Betty knew what killed her daughter. She always maintained Patty died from the aspartame found in NutraSweet diet products.

Betty charged that her daughter was addicted to aspartame. Patty incessantly drank no fewer than six diet drinks every day and perpetually added in excess of five packets of Equal® to one glass of iced tea.

Betty never stopped believing her daughter's death was connected to her heavy consumption of aspartame. In the memory of her daughter's 'cause of death unknown' as stated on her death certificate, Betty devotedly battled The NutraSweet Company and fought the suppression of information concerning the dangers connected to this chemical sweetener. As a mother fighting for her child, Betty never gave up the battle to prove she was right.

In 1991, Betty was found shot to death in her Vista, California home. She was taking a bath when her assailant broke into the bathroom and shot her while she was in the bathtub. To date, the L.A. police have not apprehended her murderer.

Adverse reactions and side effects of aspartame include:
....
decreased tears

This is true. I haven't cried in years and feel little empathy toward my fellow man. I also regularly drink diet soda. Coincidence?

Oh no. I hate to break it to you, but the aspartame has already started to alter your personality.

Reminds me of a guy my dad knew that invented a water based fuel. You could go 400 miles in a car for about 15 cents. He took it to the big refineries and started to market it to them. Within 72 hours he was found dead his house and office burned to the ground.

My neighbors would tell you that is the work of the New World Order --the small, secret club of people who aim to control the world. The latest achievement in their quest for world domination? The new Minister of Alien Affairs at the U.N. If they can unite us all against a common foreign enemy then they can force us to create one world order where we allow them to rule us in order to defeat the aliens.

I don't drink aspartame soda because it tastes crappy. Give me real cane sugar or at worst give me high fructose corn syrup. They both taste better than any diet drink.

Are you sure it's not a pre-existing condition?

I remember when Hulk Hogan joined Kevin Nash and Scott Hall to form the New World Order. That was a dark day indeed.

I bet her mom poisoned her with antifreeze.

This reminds me of when my mom told us that Kool-Aid was made with plastic because one of her health food nut friends had convinced her it was true.
