the question comes back to just how much you can lie to your subconscious using mental manipulators ( drugs ) and still retain some semblance of sanity
results may vary from person to person
if this makes no sense to you it is because you are like the seagulls that eat Bic lighters because they know thru eons of genetic history that anything that floats is edible ( no offense intended )
and to you sweet equals an energy source which equals good to your subconscious
and never mind that part of nutrasweet is converted to wood alcohol when you digest it
