[H}off-topic aspartame found to cause golf-ball sized tumors in rats

[Teresa Kramer]

Dr. M*ercola has that in his lead article today. A woman did the study reported on her own, using the artificial sweetener in the rats’ drinking water. Her conclusion was that it is even more potent in diluted form. “Her experiments resulted in the book, My Aspartame Experiment: Report from a Private Citizen ”… If this study has been mentioned on Minutus, I missed it.
Looking at the photo of one rat... wish I had skipped that! Thought Souroush and others might be interested. The only way I know to get Dr. M’s articles is to subscribe, but it’s easy to unsubscribe. I have tried to forward links and also to have the site forward interesting articles and both didn’t work. I would be interested to know what others think of that article. Teresa (Northern VA)

It is interesting that you report the potency increasing with dilution. It is not only in homeopathy that we see this.
Read a different article today regarding GMO dangers. One of the conclusions was that often the toxicity increases
with diminished amounts. That article also reported the individuation of the responses based, not only on macro
categories such as gender, but also on the individual personal conditions.

I was just quoting the article posted by Dr. M. and he was quoting the book, but that reminds me: another example might be the fact that lithium is prescribed with what appears to be safety at 900mg a day (has been used at that level for about 50 years or more, I think) but I know that when I tried to "back off" of it, wanting to stop taking it but being refused advice from the psychiatrist on how to do that, I did it the way you "back off" an antidepressant and the lower doses proved poisonous--caused a heart attack, IMO. If it hadn't happened to me, I might not believe it. Teresa (Northern VA)
