Well..... articficial sweetners like Nutrasweet, Splenda, Equal etc... are VERY bad for you. They have linked it to several nervous system diseases like MS!!!! I had a patient about a month ago that was newly diagnosed with MS and they did all kinds of testing on her. One thing that put her at a high risk was all she drank was DIET COKE!!!! In college we called it a "can of carcinogens" it is all chemicals that are manufactured in a plant somewhere, nothing natural about them. People say Splenda is made from sugar, well it is BUT they say it is just as bad for you if not worse than the others. Think about it, it is all chemicals and cancer causing crap. I myself just use real sugar and sometimes "sugar in the raw" I just don't use lots of sugar to help save on calories. I also don't eat margarine or fake butter. I use the real deal, just watch portion sizes.
As far as mad cow disease, I saw on the news that they said it is the brain, and brain stem and spinal cord of the cow that contains the disease NOT the muscle of the meat that we eat.
