There isn't anything damaging in equal that if it dooes decompose under whatever circumstance that it matters anyway. I flush far too well too regularly to have much build up of anything really.
I'm slightly partial to mostly natural unproccessed and mostly macrobiotic type foods myself ( apart from my supplements ) but I personally don't like reeal sugar because I've read too many ways it causes harm to our bodies.. to me thaat is a poison and it slows down our metabolisms and changes my complex carb values and so on. .. my main reason for not drinking any alcohol other than dry red wine to help chemically catabolise my protein so I can use it for energy earlier than to have it metabolise of it's own and so I can take more without whatever happens without it is because the sugar in any other type of alcohol puts me off more than anything else about it. It's horrible stuff in my opinion but if youu like it, by all means do what you like.

Like drinking orange juice in smokers needing extra oxgyen and spleen support for example...

None of these things.. formaladhyde or smoking or what have you are not going to kill you alone , but it's not acting affter taking them that the damage starts to happen. We get exposed to all sorts of rubbish and pollutants in our air and other sources every singleday. Go ride a bike to school behind a long line of cars and tell me theey dont do things to us. I see kids who are being raised on this stuff. Blame whatever you like, but pollutants and toxins are here and we are subject to them every day. if you understand how to remove old bubblegum by using new bubblgum ( say stuck down a tube that also needs a fluid to move it ouut of the tube ) you might understand how some of the heavier toxins .. if cleansed properly from our blood, can be of benifit. . there are brain cancer natropathy products that depend onn that principal.
I don't believe they're avoidable neither .. unless you have a bubble to walk around in and an alternative in-bubble source growing evverything you need to survive for your entire life.. but it's learning to manage how to have our bodies deal with them that would benifit us all. It all starts with educating ppl and caring enough to.

A good blood cleansing diet would help that guy .. but where to start huh.

..oh .. and doo worry about food killing you in 30 yrs. In 30 yrs you might've decide you wanted to live after all.. then wee have to go school to learn what to do about it for you all.

This was an interesting study, but I have a problem with it.

In the introduction, they state that most humans consume between 2-5 mg/kg of APM per day, and that the safe limit in the US is considered 50 mg/kg (40 in Europe.) Yet, in the study, they are giving the groups of rats the equivalent of 5000, 2500, 500, 100, 20, 4, and 0 mg APM/kg bodyweight.

5000! Come on, guys! What do they think people are going to do, make asparatame pancakes for breakfast? In their analysis of the "multipotent carcinogenic effects" of APM, they find a couple incidences where the equivalent to 20 mg/kg/day causes a statistically significant rise in cancer, but none where the 4 group - the equivalent to what most people consume - has a statistically significant rise in cancer.

Bottom line: A little bit of APM a day will not kill you. A ridiculous amount a day may kill you. Might as well not eat it, but don't freak out if you do every now and then.
