I spent a lot of time trying different sweeteners, and started using Splenda. The ad hype says "Mad from Sugar". Had to be safe right?
Wrong.
There have been a growing number of concerns about Splenda's real safety, and what it does to your body. Since I stopped using it, I feel alot better. I avoid anything with NutraSweet in it as well, that hole, I don't like holes in my brain thing, lol.
I've switched to Stevia (available at most health food stores). It's alot sweeter than sugar, so you use alot less. No calories of note and minimal problems associated with it.
I'm in the process of putting an article together on sweetners. Heres a link to the raw info I've pulled together so far:
* Think that sweetener is safe? Think again.
* What's this thing called Stevia?
This reminds me of something I read a while back. The US Congress getting pissed because someone posted their social security numbers on his website. Seems that they consider that information to be private, yet used it as ID on their records, which are publically available. Can't find the link at the moment unfortunately.
If Google doesn't want people looking up certain information, I'm certain with their abilities they can filter it out easily.
Then again, it's always been easier to shoot the messenger, rather than hide the data.
I had it done in July 2001 by a local and well respected surgeon.
4 years later, I'm still enjoying the starbursts and halos at night, the cronic tired eye, the joys of eyedrops every day, and the fear that each morning I'll again feel that wonderful sensation when my eyelid sticks to my eye and tears the epithelium off.
The full story is at the link below.

Think twice, and get several tests.
Here are 2 additional sites to check (in case they haven't been mentioned before)

I haven't heard of eye exercises...guess my cutter was more interested in his big payoff.
Could you post the title, or better yet, the ISBM for the book? I for one would definately like to check it out. Since I got zapped, its been a royal PITA.

Maybe Microsoft just was short of cash that day? I mean Microsoft would never do anything illegal.
