The blue dots are the nuclei of the cells, the yellow color is the result of an overlay (green and red) of two of the most important proteins in skeletal muscle, actin and myosin.

FDA Approved Aspartame in Diet Drinks Radically Increases Your Risk of Cancer


Reviews: 44

I believe "the bacteria eating the poop" is a reference to that constant companion of poop since time began: our good friend, Escherichia coli. An amusing little microbe to be sure. It is easily detected, and it's presence in water supplies is always proof positive that somewhere, somehow the waste treatment situation is not up to par.

I truly hope that you are telling the truth when you say, "I would never eat it, don't know anyone that would." However, if you or any of your circle of friends are fond of either drinking beverages, chewing gum, or consuming any number of increasingly commonplace foodstuffs sweatened with Aspartame (Nutri-Sweet) you may have inadvertantly committed the dietary faux pas of eating "shit."

Aspartame is prepared with a process utilising the fecal material derived from GMO Escherichia coli as it's most important ingredient. Aspartame acquired it's FDA approved status during the period of time when that old thief himself Donald Rumsfield had revolved through the usual door from all his murky activities as an all-around genocidalist war-monger into the Board of Directors of Searle. Aspartame quickly became the profit center for Searle, and the company continues to get even more milk out of the same cash cow.

Tom Philpott got much more of a reaction to his February 10, 2011, aspartame article than he expected. He reports, “I guess in the back of my mind, I was thinking, people still drink that stuff?”

Well, they do—by the bucketful. Overall, U.S. soda consumption is declining slowly, but Americans still drink more soda than anyone else on the planet, by a wide margin. According to one reckoning, the average American drinks 736 “eight-ounce servings” each year.
Adam Ozimek of the Modeled Behavior blog quickly mounted a vigorous defense of aspartame, the artificial sweetener of choice for the soda industry, claiming, “the unnecessary stress caused by worrying about the aspartame in your diet soda is far more dangerous for you than the aspartame in your soda.”
Ozimek also compared warnings about aspartame’s danger to 9/11 conspiracy theories, claiming the FDA “adequately followed its food additive approval process in approving aspartame.”

Regardless of how its prepared or how much it looks like a steak at the end of the day its still SHIT. It would be a great gag to send them to your least favorite person or set one off to the side during that next BBQ then hook up the guy that has had to much to drink or is hitting one your wife.

Recycled Cooking Oil Found to Be Latest Hazard in China



SHANGHAI — Regulators are investigating whether restaurants throughout China are creating food hazards by cooking with recycled oil, some tainted with food waste, and prominence given to the issue in the state-controlled media suggests that the problem could be widespread.

The State Food and Drug Administration issued a nationwide emergency notice telling health bureaus to investigate the sources of cooking oil in mid-March. The notice came shortly after a professor and a group of students at Wuhan Polytechnic University announced that they had found widespread use of recycled oil in their region in an undercover investigation. The professor, He Dongping, asserted that recycled oil was being used to prepare 1 in 10 meals in China.

Regulators are now searching for illegal oil recycling mills, and some health bureaus have begun releasing the names of restaurants and food establishments that were found to be using questionable oil.

Last November, regulators in southern China raided several workshops for turning discarded waste — possibly even sewage — into cooking oil.

China has repeatedly been hit by food safety scandals over the past few years, including contaminated milk, eggs and animal feed and the selling of diseased pigs. In 2007, the head of the State Food and Drug Administration was executed for failing to properly police the country’s food and drug industry, and China announced a major food safety crackdown.

But this week alone, state newspapers have reported that regulators found “unsafe artificial green peas” in Hunan Province and some 20,000 pounds of “toxic vegetables” in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Those vegetables had excessive pesticide residues, according to a government Web site.

In the case of the green peas, two illegal food workshops were caught processing dried snow peas and soybeans with chemicals and bleach to produce the appearance of more expensive green peas.

In the city of Chengdu, in southwestern China, food safety officials released the names of 13 restaurants that were found to be using illegal cooking oil. The restaurants specialized in hot pot, a popular simmered dish.

City residents voiced anger at Chengdu regulators for having delayed the release of some of the names of the implicated restaurants, according to the English-language newspaper China Daily.

Here in Shanghai, regulators have warned that illegal cooking oil could be a problem because a large portion of restaurant food grease goes unaccounted for.

Professor He declined to be interviewed this week. China Daily quoted one of his colleagues as saying that the authorities had pressured the professor to stop talking to the media, and that he had also received personal threats.

Huang Fenghong, deputy director of the Oil Crops Research Institute at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said the use of illegal cooking oil was a serious problem in China.

“Some low-end restaurants establish stable buy-and-sell relationships with underground oil recyclers,” he said in a telephone interview this week. “Some oil recyclers just dig out the oil from drains, because high-end restaurants seldom sell that drainage oil.”
