Airion: He says what you want to hear, so you trust him.
Trust me, he doesn't. I loved the taste of diet dr pepper or coke zero, but numerous researches against aspertame, and all corruption around approval process made me think about it. I figured: better safe than sorry and price of removing diet coke isn't too much to pay. I enjoy my fruit juices and occasional ginger ale a lot more.. and if i want caffeine, i just go for a coffee...

Fadamor, I will just post it again for you: If simple math doesn't work for you, I don' know what does.
http://www.infowars.com/aspartame-study-67-of-female-rats-developed-visible-tumors/
The US Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows for the human consumption of 50 mg of aspartame per kg of body weight per day, which is equivalent to a 150-lb person drinking about 20 12-oz. cans of diet soda. My male rats received about 34 mg/kg of aspartame per day, which is equivalent to a 150-lb. (68-kg) human male drinking about 13 12-oz. cans or 2.25 two-liter bottles of diet soda a day. My females received about 45 mg/kg per day, which is equivalent to a 120-lb. (55-kg) human female drinking about 14 12-oz. cans or 2.4 two-liter bottles of diet soda a day.
FDA laws state that the ADI for any food additive should be one hundred times less than the lowest amount found to cause adverse health effects.
2 If my results are considered valid, then the ADI for aspartame should be the equivalent of less than 1/8 can of diet soda per day. However, if the tumor rate observed in my study is considered valid, then aspartame should be removed from the marketplace altogether. According to the pro-aspartame authors of The Clinical Evaluation of a Food Additive: Assessment of Aspartame , “
If the additive is found to cause cancer in either animals or humans at any dose, it is banned from use as a food additive, as a result of the Delaney Anticancer Clause of 1958.

MistWizard, good call, but we do need stuff like aspirin, which does need FDA approval, but yeah, knowing what you eat is a must.
90 countries approved huh? Do you think its that hard to bribe them? Should I mention other things they got wrong by just following the US lead? Banned weed, while keeping tobacco legal for example? It's called bandwagon, my friend. Just because everyone does it, doesn't mean it's right.
Do your research, please. So far there is: majority vs. accurate evidence. Did anyone notice the pattern of argument? Me: Aspartame killed rats. Everyone else: But everyone say's it's ok! Come on people, let's do a bit of thinking! After all, you do put this stuff into your bodies! Don't you even care?

So he openly lies his buttocks off just to achieve ... what? Nobody tries to prove that orange juice or club soda are hazardous, but they are similar large brand consumer goods, so there must be a reason to pick on diet coke.
Personally, I would trust a home scientist more, than a bunch of beurocats hired from large manufacturer going through revolving doors of FDA to prove that money driven substance is safe.
This is how corrupt this whole approval process was: In 1981, the newly appointed FDA Commissioner, Arthur Hull Hayes, ignored the negative ruling and approved aspartame for dry goods. As recorded in the Congressional Record of 1985, then CEO of Searle Laboratories Donald Rumsfeld said that he would "call in his markers" to get aspartame approved. Rumsfeld was on President Reagan's transition team and a day after taking office appointed Hayes. No FDA Commissioner in the previous sixteen years had allowed aspartame on the market.

lol, and i haven't any of these videos on youtube. I think Alex Jones Obama Deception or Ron Paul winning the debate videos would have had more hits if google wasn't messing around with hit counts.

The first politician that would say that he would cut down the size of government would get my attention. Anybody who would say that they would legalize certain herbal substances for taxation and cut down on police force will get my recommendation.
Raising taxes, borrowing, inflating as all been done and it never worked! When are people going to learn?!

List to who? Shareholder - maybe Government, media, or everyone else - absolutely no. It's private entity. Should government require you to list how much money do you give to your kids as allowance, or how much you spent in a pub last Friday? No! This is your private property, just like a expenditure on payroll in private corporations. By no means government should have a say in decision making process involving who they hire and how much they pay.
