diet coke

So it's starting to look like aspartame may be much worse for the human body even than sugar. And by much worse, I mean it "may" cause tumors, rotten eyes, and a host of other horrible conditions. I've read that aspartame breaks down into some awful chemicals once ingested. Included formaldehyde, methanol (wood alcohol) and some addictive chemicals. So, between the caffeine and the aspartame, I've decided to stop drinking diet coke.

Permanently.

For those who don't mind seeing some pet rats get torn apart by gruesome chemical experiments, check out this nasty web site.
