    Where do you get the invalid notion that fat is bad?

    Fat isn't making Americans fat, carbohydrates are.

    You are very funny, declaring the result of an experiment you haven't done and imagining you are right. That is not the scientific way. You are wrong about the helium balloon, put that balloon into a vacuum chamber and it will pop. My My you are so silly.

    Some would say the fact of quantum mechanical effects such as the split beam interference experiment suggest such a mutiverse does exist. And quite credible scientists are debating it.

    Experiments would show photons don't fall at that rate (though they are affected by gravity), helium balloons do not. Rockets don't.

    Hmm, maybe you're confused.

    We already know plenty of objects will not fall at the standard rate for gravity. Helium balloons do not and will not in experiment. You are very dense

    "spectrum of taste" is for culinary school. They rats responded to sucrose and saccharine. That's hardly testing with all common simple sweet chemicals, and not enough to draw any conclusion about sucralose or stevia or any other artificial sweetener.

    Those would have to be tested to make a claim, and then only valid for rats

  8. Re:danger vs taste on Pepsi To Stop Using Aspartame · · Score: 1

    Yes, the rat brain reacted to nervous system sensing saccharine, that's all that can be said.

    You cannot make a claim for any other substance without testing.

    Your quoting a sentence making invalid unscientific conclusion doesn't make that true.

    But aspartame tastes like ass; splenda is so much better. I drive 25 minutes on congested road once a month to stock up on Diet Coke with splenda because only one store in the area carries it. Hope coca-cola transitions all their diet pop, diet lime coke with splenda would be awesome

    Wrong again, engineering sucessfully done FAR before the scientific method ever formalized. There are massive structures a thousand years and older still standing on solid engineering without a shred of scientific method employed but rather pure engineering principles.

    NO; WRONG

    You are unscientific in your false logic. You can ONLY claim insulin response (for rats not humans) shown for the substances in that experiment that were used. You can not make claim for any other substances.

    No, you leave out important thing found in fruit juice not found in diet soda. The fruit and other foods which make a tiny amount of methanol also make ethanol, which protects the body from the methanol which by the way turns into formaldehyde. So diet soda consumed with similar protection food should be fine, however it is open question if drinking alone would be fine.

    Wrong, you link to study that used saccarine, not relevant to this discussion, and your logic is faulty claiming it applies to any other sweetener used in diet soda.

    I'm thinking you are, linking to a story claiming social *could* help in such disasters, with a closing sentence that one family marked themselves safe on Facebook! HAHAHAHA, yeah tweets and facebook likes will stop falling rocks and bring food/shelter/medical aide to the victims. Let's all paste a white and grey ribbon on our social media pages because "we care" and "to raise awareness" while we're at it.

    wrong, get a refund on your history lessons, radical islam not responsible for Pakistan but rather push lead by All-India Muslim league which was concerned with rights for muslims and also by the way led in promoting the democratic process for Pakistan.

    only about 15 of the populace of Pakistan would be "radical" by any standard. The rest are "hippy muslims" that drink, smoke (and not just tobacco), watch porn, gamble etc.

    Wrong!

    Engineering is the basis of such success, and that employs different methodology than scientific method. We do not design and build by the scientific method though it is part of the foundation
