Nah, a WHOLE lot of people are saying the artificial sweeteners are bad for us. I've had several friends tell me I'm poisoning myself with them. And there are probably ten thousand websites on the internet which say the same thing.
You're in the majority on this. And even though the stuff hasn't seemed to have an effect on me, it may have an effect on others. I just don't know.

People metabolize substances that go in their body in different ways. Some people can just look at a piece of chocolate cake and gain 5 lbs whereas another can eat the whole damn thing and loose weight.

I have no idea whether or not diet sodas containing aspartame are dangerous or not, there is just far too many conflicting articles out there to make a rational decision. A decision that I am certainly glad I do not have to make since I have not drank a soda of any kind in probably 40 years. My beverages of choice are coffee, sweet tea(sugar), water and maybe a beer or two maybe twice a year.

As long as I remain healthy, I will continue down the path that I am going with no worries and no looking back with regret.

I could tell you why I eat and live like I do but it is really no ones choice or concern but mine. The same goes for you. I only try to share a few things that work for me. No one else. I watched a person with advanced Melanoma slow the advance of it and finally put into remission by drinking Carrot Juice. It was his last hope, he had been to some of the best doctors in the US with limited results. Bull Shit? Maybe wearing Blue socks would have done the same thing? I dont know. I can only share what I have witnessed.

Maybe I am fool and I am only deluding my self. So be it. I believe in the healing powers of food. I am not going to defend any thing.
The ultimate choices on staying alive and healthy is yours.

Staying healthy yes, staying alive, not so much. Not a single one of us can control when, where and how we will die.

I'm not so sure I agree w/ that. I'm never going to be eaten by a shark cause I don't go in the ocean.

CoQ10 is a very powerful antioxidant, and it helps your body utilize energy. It is very good stuff.

I realize you may have been serious about not going in the ocean, however the fact remains that you still have absolutely no control of your own death.

OK. I'll give you the how and why, but the when is beyond our control. Man has faced death since the beginning of time and no one has ever been about to take any control over it.

Granted, there are things that can be done to prolong it and things that can even hasten it. I may be an atheist, but I still believe that we are all predestined to die

Your statements are confusing. What do you mean we are all predestined to die? Of course, our destiny is to die. Are you saying it is already determined what we are going to die of or when?

I am in control of my life. If I choose I can be dead in 10 minutes. I can pick up the pistol from this desk and put a round in my head..Thats When, where and how. The choice is mine.
