That test was injecting pure aspartame into the bloodstream of mice, you would have to drink over 2000 servings of a diet cola to get that dosage.
WTF was the point of that test then?
Edit: Injecting a lot of air into your veins will stop your heart... so that means that air is harmful!
I'll stand alone, again, and say that I agree with Mercola. I've been reading into his, and others', ideas and research for about a year now. I decided to put their suggestions to the test. My immune system is healthier than it's been in about five years. My blood pressure is back down to 123/79 (tested yesterday) without drugs. My back has been healing far more than any M.D. claimed possible. And, I simply feel way better and have much more energy.
But, go ahead and keep believing the FDA (which takes bribes) and the drug companies (that make bribes) and we'll see which one of us lives a healthier life.

How about you eat what you want to eat, just manage your portions and get 30 minutes of activity a day. That's what I do to maintain my 60lb weightloss!
In fact, I have a pizza in the oven right now. I haven't eaten one for about a week now. As long as you don't eat junk food daily, you should be OK. You only live once and I'll be damned if I'm going to let some speculation get in the way of enjoying food. It's our source of energy and life. My grandpa still eats pizza, soda, and doughnuts and he's almost 90.
The trick is to work off the calories, as we all know. Me, I religously take the stairs to my 8th floor pad, ride a bike everywhere, and eat the most unhealthy foods known to man(in moderation). This health food bandwagon though makes me nausous.
According to an article in JAMA, 750,000 people die each year as a result of our healthcare system.

Oh, I'm definitely outside at least the first standard deviation above the metabolic mean, I admit that. But from the way the site presents things, those five substances are worse than eating straight cyanide.
I did present things poorly, but the simple fact is that there are a myriad of other factors that need to interact with the consumption of those foods in order for them to cause anything resembling the health issues that the site claims.

The whole aspartame thing, oh no, 5 people in the world reportedly died from aspartame, and how many thousands from sugar?
It's called diabetes and consuming large quantities of sugar has been associated with its early onset - especially sweeteners like HFCS.
Any and all starch, or carbs, are converted into blood glucose (blood sugar). Some at an even faster pace than pure sugar.
There is a scale, The glycemic index, that puts a scale to how fast these carbs are converted into blood glucose. As you can see there are many that are much worse than sugar.

All of the refined grains and cereal products that we consume are relatively new to our diets, (200 to 1500 years or so, depending on your ancestry) Our bodies are not designed for the foods that most of us eat....
Three-quarter of a million people? That's doubtful.
Oh, now you're just making this crap up. I found your "source" on Mercola's page, and I don't know how you got 750,000 from 250,000.

110/60 BP and a resting heart rate in the upper 50's. My eating habits are already documented in this thread.
As long as there's enough activity to work off the caloric intake, you're fine.

Sure there are other factors than poor diet. Tobacco use, physical inactivity and alcohol abuse will ruin your health too.
No one else got that the entire article is just trying to sell you something, every food has a link to a substitute that he recomends, which is all conviently sold through his website. This article is BS, try getting one from a guy that isn't trying to make money off of it..
