It’s easy to dismiss an opinion because I rashly chose a site to make a point during a busy work day. There is good data out there, but that one page does not dismiss my opinion. You are right about supplements. And correct about the depth of Aspartame testing. And I used to be as defensive of those artificial sweeteners. But that’s where the similarities terminate.

It’s Ok to have an opinion. But preaching about a manufactured food product without corroboration is disingenuous, as there have been a fraction of tests on sucralose vs. aspartame and no long term studies on sucralose. And restating manufacturer claims about chlorine is, in a word, ‘shill’.

Again, if you want to have an opinion, that’s great. If you want to preach about a highly-processed manufactured food product and preach misleading study statistics and manufacturer claims, you better have some other data to back up your assertions.

I woke up, no longer consume those compounds and feel healthier for it. I suppose I’m imagining it.../s

Not being defensive, simply stating fact. The mountain of evidence that these products are safe is backed up by sound science. The scare nonsense you posted is backed up by junk science. I know the difference. For example, your irrational fear of chlorine.

Aspartame has three components. Those same three components are also found in higher quantities in bananas. To fear Aspartame is to fear bananas. Again, irrational. Sucralose isn't metabolized by the human body and is eliminated "as same." How can something be deleterious to your health when it isn't even absorbed?

Feelings are fine, but please don't try passing them off as fact.
