    Maybe the "Pink Ribbons" should turn attention to aspartame

    RE: Maybe the Carola, I'm with you. I'm trying to cut out a lot of sweet things in my diet. When I do want a sweet taste, I typically turn to stevia or agave. I just read an article that said that these are the two best sweeteners that meet all the criteria for a "safe sweetener": 1) It...

    Maybe the "Pink Ribbons" should turn attention to aspartame

    RE: Maybe the Oh my God, ADK! Your reply was completely unnecessary. Who cares what sensationalistic website title they used or whether I used "sucked down" or "drank" or "sipped" or "chugged". Get past it and see the content. As far as scientists who are against aspartame go: My dad...

    Maybe the "Pink Ribbons" should turn attention to aspartame

    RE: Maybe the Nadja, there is no way you read that entire article in the amount of time it took for you to post your reply. It was so long, I couldn't even finish reading it...had to print it out and bring it home.

    Cardio vs. Weights? Full Body Weights vs. Isolated? HELP!

    RE: Cardio vs. Weights? Full Body Weights vs. Isolated... Do two week's worth of isolated weight training, and you'll see and feel the benefits over total body weight training. But make sure you're lifting a heavy enough weight to FEEL it. If you're easily doing all the reps without having...

    OMG -- (sensitive issue - and LONG)

    Yes, the important thing is that two people have suffered emotionally (and physically) and my heart goes out to them. I've just said a little prayer for both the "victims" (for strength and understanding) and for the "protestors" (to gain a little understanding and compassion for others)...

    I-69 protestors trashed one of my hubby's offices

    http://stopi69.wordpress.com/ Over the weekend, protestors to the I-69 project in Indiana attacked and vandalized a satellite office of my husband's firm, BLA, who are involved in the design of the project. Their corporate office has also been targeted, but so far my husband's office hasn't...

    OMG -- (sensitive issue - and LONG)

    I disagree, kaykay. And I'm not thinking happy thoughts about your beliefs right now. They may work for you, but that doesn't mean they work for everyone. Again, "there but for the grace of God, go you." Unless you've walked a mile in someone else's shoes (which means immersing yourself in...

    RE: Sleeping problems

    http://www.glutenfreeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=47343 Here is another possible explanation for the night sweats. Ironically, I used to get really sweaty at night and just realized when I read the link that when I stopped eating gluten several months ago, my night sweats stopped. I also...

    Maybe the "Pink Ribbons" should turn attention to aspartame

    RE: Maybe the Yes, but all the pro-aspartame stuff I've found seems to neglect stating any verifiable facts or actual test results. I've found NUMEROUS sources that refer to the actual scientists who conducted the tests and REFUSED to give their approval. They name names, dates, tests done...

    arms fall asleep at night.. nerve ?

    http://www.aspartamekills.com/mpvalley/ Okay, so I'm posting this link just about everywhere right now. Numbness and tingling in the extremities is a common complaint regarding aspartame (artificial sweetener) consumption. If you drink a lot to diet drinks and/or eat a bunch of sugar-free...

    RE: Sleeping problems

    By the way, nightsweats and fever are also on the list, albeit the list of complaints from the Gulf War soldiers, but it's worth looking into. And didn't someone say numbness and tingling in their arms? Maybe that was in another thread. At any rate, that's on the list, too.

    Maybe the "Pink Ribbons" should turn attention to aspartame

    http://www.aspartamekills.com/mpvalley/ I just posted this link in the thread for the person who has sleeping problems, but wanted to post it in a thread of its own since it focuses more on breast cancer. This is a long article, but it is full of eye-opening data for those who have...

    RE: Sleeping problems

    http://www.aspartamekills.com/mpvalley/ Do you drink a lot of "diet" drinks or eat a lot of sugar-free stuff? If so, check out the symptom list in this link. I know the article specifically discusses breast cancer related to aspartame consumption (and the entire article is VERY informative...

    OMG -- (sensitive issue - and LONG)

    First of all: Kaykay...I don't know what you're trying to say, but it SOUNDS like you are one with the protestors. I sure hope not in this situation. Second of all: Going back to the original post and the ignorant protestors who spit on these people, thinking that they knew the reasons...

    What Will Happen Next?

    clothesminded: Do some research on high volume high density weight training. OnFitness magazine has a great article about this concept in their latest issue. The article outlines how to create a 30-minute workout that is still as effective, if not moreso, than 60-90 minute workouts.

    Best Smelling Candles Ever!

    I can't stand anything scented. I'm asthmatic and anything scented can set off one heck of a violent asthma attack. And in addition to the asthmatic response, I have what's called a toxic reaction to fragrance. It's not considered an allergy, but the reaction can be similar: sinus...

    personal trainer question

    I agree with your trainer to a certain extent. For weight loss, I'd definitely do weight training 3-4 days per week. I don't think you need to do 4-5 days of high intensity cardio, though. Maybe 2-3 days. But I think he's right on the walking thing. Research does indicate now that walking...

    Update: CREATURE IN MY WALL

    Okay, so if they're in your walls, they're probably getting into your cabinets or actually in your apartment. So, if they won't help you solve the problem, here's what you do: Get some mouse bait and set it along the wall in the corner. You can also set it inside a cabinet against the the...
