- danso 14y agoYes, this is true. I mostly liked the play off of "syntactic sugar". I'm trying to think of some concept/implementation that mimics syntactic-sugar yet is ultimately unsatisfying (though not harmful) but it's too early in the morning.
- amalag 14y agoYes we can thank our FDA and Donald Rumsfeld for our government's acceptance of aspartame. Good thing the dangerous plant stevia was banned until 2008 and we had the safe aspartame, thanks Rumsfeld! There are still studies that find fault with aspartame, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20886530 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20886530, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17805418 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17805418 But hey, you can trust cancer.gov if you want. I don't touch the stuff, it tastes so disgusting anyway.
