I know people who get severe headaches and have traced them to aspertame. Some people even claim that aspertame (today's most prevalent sweetener) is an appetite enhancer! This leads to all kinds of crazy (?) conspiracy theories. Step 1: we turn on our TV's. Then the advertisers give us the image of the thin model/chiseled athelete to aspire to, then the burger chains give us all the fatty food we can eat and breweries, all the beer we can drink, then give us the 'tools' to combat the fat, including a sugar substitute and light beer, which keep us coming back for more, til we have to ask our doctors what's wrong, and they subscribe the pills that perpetuate the cycle, and make us into income generating machines for the health care and insurance industries. Meantime the spinoff keeps all the Bally's and Gold's Gyms rollin' in dough. I even distrust my TV remote these days. Could be part of the conspiracy. Y'never know...it could be transmitting your blood pressure to the cable company... The more natural, the better. The simpler the better. The less TV the better. etc. Apologies to all the conscientious doctors out there. But that's it. I don't think there is such a thing as a conscientious beer maker, burger chain or insurance company. Sorry for the rant. I avoid artificial ingredients like I do the bird flu. (which I only see on TV!) ;-)) Enjoy winter!
