I posted a link earlier about this to the guy who 'walked away from powerlifiting'

Here is the link again  http://dorway.com/dorwblog/

Read the links on the left side of the page. Learn what this product really is and how dangerous it is. It is not merely two supposed naturally occuring amino acids. The product becomes Formaldehyde, wood alcohol and formic acid in your system when ingested. All of these are neurotoxins that caused tremendous side effects and can lead to long term debilitating conditions as well as cause cancer.

I don't for the life of me understand why people thnk this stuff is safe...it is like drinking POISON and saying it is alright.

Let a rattle snake bite your ass and see if 10% of one gram of venom is nothing....THe percentage amount of something is not important...it is how potent the product is to begin with.

i've been using equal for 2-3 yrs now, and i never thought the aspartame was a big issue, until this new chick that im seeing is all about organic stuff and a vegetarian, so she's been trying to convince me to switch to stevia extract which i just cant stand the taste... i'll give it another shot
