    Which is good. We’ve had a general sense of aspartames’ carcinogenicity for some time, but we really do need to dial in the doses of understanding. I have Mexican friends who do not drink liquid other than soda and alcohol (let’s ignore the last word for the sake of this conversation) and it’s the same for many of their friends as well.

    Anything can kill you. Water. Oxygen. Green beans. The dose makes the poison.

    So it’s about time we came to a concensus and quantified the risk.
