You know what actually. 12,000,000 americans have cancer according to cancer.org. thats 1 in 25. That means at least one out of every 25 people in these forums especially since we used to smoke analogs has or will get some form of cancer. Yeah sure, anyone can sit here and say you have this much of chance to get this or that, but cmon now. The USA has more cancer that most countries and we are alot less populated than some of them. This is why we should stop using aspartame in anything. especially vaping. 1 in 25 getting cancer is a disaster.

yeah... pollen can kill over one percent of the population too. im sure peanuts will kill anyone who is allergic to them lol. this is why the people who are allergic to them will not eat them. same with shellfish.

I think Aspartame can kill 99.9% of the population if consumed enough. and i dont mean by drinking buckets of it. I mean small doses over time will kill you. let me take a guess. I guess it can kill anyone in 25 years if taken everyday in some form. couple diet cokes everyday.

But i say buyer beware. You dont want to buy cereal that contains it and juices. Want to wake up every morning with aspartame in everything you eat and drink? just be a smart shopper. thats all im saying here. give me some leverage here jeez

As for the others ranting off about me saying he was not entitled to his opinion...Calm down. I thought i made it clear that it was "my opinion" lol.

Well this was, your quote, no?

It is your opinion, and its my opinion that you are not entitled to your opinion.
very clearly saying he was not entitled to an opinion.

I do agree, but not as a sweeping statement. I'm sensative to PG but it's not a poison. I just have to know my boundries with it. I do agree with a lot of the dangers of fake sugars. Mainly though I see everyone who uses them just crave more sweets. It's like you are tricking your system. Your body evolved over millions of years to know that sweet equals carbs. When it gets no carbs from the sugar, it gets confused and triggers a reaction. It results in you craving more sugar to satisfy the absence of carbs the first time. So linking an epidemic of fat people and diabetes to artificial sweetners and high fructose corn syrup is a no brainer. Or a well timed coincidence. Whatever.

It's good to have that info on hand either way. Who cares for whatever reason. Some people want to avoid it, some don't care. Eduction is key but some would rather not learn and go on blissfully doing what they do. The only people who wind up looking silly are those who feel they have to resort to huffing and puffing and propaganda. They didn't hear the message the first time. But now you just look silly for such exaggeration. You got their attention now. But they are pointing and laughing.

And I'm going to walk quietly away as they eat their twinkies and diet coke and maybe try to avoid the sweeter side of vaping. Cause I have noticed I've developed quite a sweet tooth since I ventured away from dry tobacco blends toward the sweeter side of things. So maybe you did some good here.
Thanks for the info.

How different is it from the people trying to outlaw vaping? They don't like it, and because they don't, they don't want anyone doing it. I'm an adult, and I want to decide for myself what I will and won't do. I don't need halfassed propaganda thrown at me to make me decide. Do I consume aspartame? No. Is it because it's bad for me? No. I just think it tastes nasty. (I don't like bell peppers either, but you can eat them all you want)

You know what cba191? I hear ya. i used to say the same thing all the time. If i die I die. If i get hit by a car, car accident, killed in a storm, stabbed to death, shot, OD on drugs. But I dont want to die as result of some greedy person/s who just wants to leech off society and make millions. Im tired of leeches, they live off the majority of the population....reaping in millions upon millions of dollars while people like us get cancer. screw that. lol

Everything in moderation..I agree with knowing your own limitations. Water can be consider a poison, and you can also die from an overdose of the stuff. (water intoxication) I vape 36mg and look at the people who vape 6mg or 12mg with envy, every body handles chemicals differently, you just have to know what works for yours.

I read a study back in the 80's (please don't ask me to find it, I don't think it made it to the internet!). And, it stated that laboratory rats can get cancer from drinking human mother's milk. : o

So, given the right set of circumstances anything can cause cancer. Just the same it concerns me that Aspartame is in eJuice. I just don't like the stuff. Guess I will have to find out what eJuice has it in it and avoid. Not because it may or may not kill me...my body just does not like the stuff. I mean, really, Aspartame. Shoot!

Aspartame isn't used to the best of my knowledge. No toxic e-coli excrement for me! Well, maybe not. I mean, bee puke tastes so darn yummy -so why not?

Okay, I'm officially confused. So, the eJuice producers don't use Aspartame in the mix? So, what makes it sweet?

By the way...speaking of not getting what you think you're getting. Many honey growers use sugar water to feed their bees. Because a bee will live up to 5 times longer if they live inside of a "Bee Barn" - not having to fight the elements. Thus, the growers feed the bees sugar water since they don't have flower fields to feed from inside the barns. There's a swich-a-roo for ya! That's why using organic or Agroliving bees honey is far better.

What was the website? I'm just curious about who might have created it and which group they are trying to support on the sly? There is just so much stuff in the world that isn't "good" for you I try just to enjoy life and not worry.

The leading cause of death in the world is birth. It leads to death 100% of the time.

That last bit...... Props!!!!

Yeah, rats are already very susceptible to cancer and have a very short lifespan so any studies using rats I tend to not take very seriously.

My aunt makes her own honey and we get it from her, pretty darn tasty stuff when I'm in the mood for honey. :D

Splenda CAN adversely affect the body in several ways because it IS a chemical substance and not natural.
I didn't read the whole thread but everytime I read that something is necessarily good because is natural...
last time I checked hemlock was natural, snake poison was natural and even nicotine was natural.
Natural means nothing if we are talking about toxicity.

True. Read about refined sugar and bone char.
