The venerable Chicago Tribune has a story about the dangers of Aspartme.
Of course, aside from the headlines and assertions, the story does indicate:
But does it really cause headaches or, worse, seizures, lupus and multiple sclerosis?
Most experts and studies say no.
Anyone who’s been to Snopes knows that “Warnings about drinking too much diet soda have circulated on the Internet for years” but that the warnings are bogus.
So it’s good to see the Chicago Tribune wasting column inches dignifying these assertions by exploring them (next week’s e-mail undoubtedly will say As scene in the Chcago Tribune!!!).
I am looking forward to upcoming hard-hitting Tribune investigative exposés (what you don’t know might hurt you):
- The health benefits of blooding.
- World is round, Earth not center of universe.
- Disco rocks the house.
- No aether in space.
- They don’t actually live, it was just a movie, learn and obey, citizen.
