ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS KILL, PERIOD.
You saw the new Time.com article about artificial sweeteners; stating that the rumors that they cause obesity are not true. Two basic problems with the story:
1). There ARE NO rumors that artificial sweeteners cause obesity.
2). There ARE plenty of very accurate rumors that artificial sweeteners kill you.
This is the classic case of the ‘red herring’ use-of-media trick. Divert attention from the proof that artificial sweeteners are full of carcinogens. Get the public’s attention away from the FACT that artificial sweeteners are MORE dangerous than cigarette smoking. Bury the media in an anti-rumor campaign against a pseudo-gossip that simply does not exist – in order to preclude any possibility that the public will focus its attention on the real dangers of artificial sweeteners. They are more dangerous to your health than cigarette smoking. We already know that cigarette smoking kills you, and those around you. Artificial sweeteners kill you even more insidiously!
One quick tiny example of the real dangers:
Study after study have shown that many people suffering from the effects of Lupus, once they eliminate artificial sweeteners from their diet, find immediate discernable relief from the effects of lupus; and in a very short time notice that their Lupus symptoms are completely eliminated. That’s because the effects are the effects of artificial sweeteners, not the effects of Lupus, which is a side effect of artificial sweetener use.
This and all other studies have absolutely nothing to do with the red herring, obesity.
I defy you to find one single study or article about obesity being increased by artificial sweeteners – you will find none because there is no controversy about artificial sweeteners and obesity – it is a red herring. Don’t let them con you off track.
The global trillion dollar artificial sweetener industry is protecting itself and its future by use of the red herring tactic.ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS KILL, PERIOD! Believe it. It is true.

The difference between a leader and a boss:
A boss says:
You're nothing without me, I could do all your jobs without
you and do them better, I am dragging you along behind me.
The Leader says:
I am nothing without you. I could never accomplish this
on my own. Take my hand and I will bring you with me
forward into the unknown without fear - only eager
excitement. Let's go!
