Me happy now.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Thrive to spite them
Zen thanks for the info. hopefully we'll get the regular diet Coke back, I like my aspartame. Someone a bit higher up on the food chain was in here the other day talking about how bad aspartame is for you and how it might be a cause for Guld War syndrome and that pallets of diet coke sat around and turned into formaldohyde. Which I could totally debunk with snopes, but I wasn't about to piss anyone off.

All fake sugars just taste like chemicals to me. I love my real sugars too much, I think.

Does anyone drink Diet Coke with Splenda on a regular basis? They put some in our drink machine instead of regular diet coke and I've been feelign funny the past few days and I think it might be from the Splenda.
I end up feeling fuzzy headed and slightly like I have a headache. Slightly off on top of that. The only thing that's been different is the Splenda.
I've read a few things lately about people having really bad reactions to Splenda, which was barely tested in humans. And tested in only a small number of humans, too.
It's sugar that had chlorine added to it. It breaks down to dioxin. That does not leave the body. So, not as healthy as it seems.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Heh. It's like the nanoMatrix decision.

And combining the Whole Foods talk with the Splenda talk, Whole Foods will not carry foods with Splenda in them, and here's why.

What is dioxin and what's bad about it? I'm asking because I prefer the flavor of Splenda to aspartame and other artificial sweeteners. But if it's harmful, I'll switch back. It won't be easy, but I will.
ETA: figures it would be an x-post. Thanks, Tep!

Meet the newest research assistant for the Center for Social Development and Education and UMass Boston.
And? I'm getting $1 more an hour than their maximum. I feel loved.
Oh, but I think I'm gonna break the heart of the director of the Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy. As I left her office earlier today, she said, "Please pick us."

Remember the Ukraine (Russian?) election, and poor Viktor Yushchenko getting poisoned? Dioxin.

Because books.
Yay, vw! And "aw" to the director of the other center. Still, $1 over max is awesome.
Whole Foods will not carry foods with Splenda in them, and here's why.
Do they not carry Equal and other sweeteners, too?
t /no Whole Foods near me, sadly
