Quotes to ponder:

"All foods are made of chemicals: carbon, oxygen, nitrogen. Aspartame is made of two amino acids that taste 200 times sweeter than table sugar."

"Studies which reported a link to cancer were done with animals given absurd amounts of no- or low-cal sweeteners and are not relevant to humans in real-life."

"LNCS are one tool in a dieter’s toolbox. They can help dieters lose weight IF they displace calories the dieter does not replace."
