Messenger Posted March 28, 2011 Author Posted March 28, 2011 Those who drink non caffeine diet sodas should also be aware that Aspartame which is used to sweeten also started out as an insecticide.I've not heard that Aspartame "started out as an insecticide". Do you have any sources?

emeliza Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 If we are going to get into harmful chemicals, I was reading a blog the other day about dangers of dihydrogen monoxide.

Aspirin/Coumadin are effective rat poisons as they stop the rats blood from coagulating, and the rats bleed to death internally.
