This is about protecting establishment career politicians, not about what voters want and not about what they are capable of understanding.

There is a lot of public misunderstanding of the rodent studies that linked aspartame to cancer, which are very flawed and essentially come from a single Italian research group.

There is still no definitive link to cancer risk in humans so I would continue to be skeptical. The maximum recommended safe exposure for aspartame is the equivalent of 12 cans of coke, and the strong effects from the rodent study were using exposure amounts equivalent to 5 times that amount, or 60 cans daily, every day of their life after day 12 of fetal life (i.e. before birth).

Almost anything can cause long-term health risks and toxicity at such massive exposure levels.

Link to the free Pubmed link to one of the original source studies from 2008 so you can see their methodology and the absurdly massive exposure amounts needed to ovserve these effects:

Yeah, if you don’t hydrate it you’re just building drywall in your intestines.

Winds up being counterproductive for weight loss since everything gets trapped in there longer and more nutrients are absorbed.

That clump of cells would need “conciousness” or the ability to think for itself to be considered sentient, something you apparently lack as well.

Late-term abortions are nearly always due to serious complications that endanger both mother and fetus, or in cases where the fetus is already non-viable or braindead. You are proposing forcing mothers to risk their lives to give birth to dead fetuses. Educate yourself instead of parroting conservative propaganda.

It’s actually an incredibly relevant and appropriate equivalence, since restricting access to abortion care means endangering women’s lives in cases where the pregnancy is non-viable or there are other serious complications to the pregnancy.

I would be enjoying it more if it wasn’t bought, paid for, and orchestrated by Saudi Arabia in an effort to suppress free speech and democracy.
