Nic I found Snopes to be off the mark on McCain's position on embryonic stem cell research. They claimed he supports it - and while he does support the extra IVF embryo kind, he opposes SCNT or therapeutic cloning.and was a co-sponsor of the Brownback bill to criminalize it. I think it is a complicated subject not easily understood and maybe it is the same with the Aspartame/Methanol cause of some forms of PD. I don't know. Carlos Landa of Argentina requested I look into it as he believes it caused his PD and these articles are what Diane came up with. You are probably the best judge rather than Snopes. I don't think it caused my PD, but then there may be many causes for many kinds of PD. In my opinion, Snopes is not the final word because they may not be able to deal with complicated issues.
