>I only learned about the dangers of Apartame after I developed a reaction to it. If a fountain dispenser of Dr Pepper, for example, is loaded with Diet Dr. Pepper, and I drink a cup, I will turn beet red from the waist up and have oily sweat, and the skin on my face will feel like it's on fire. Three days later I will peel like I had a bad sunburn. I'll get a headache and have memory loss episodes.

So that's what's causing me to be fat, red and peeling!*g*

For people who believe anything he says, I'm reminded of the parable of the almost frozen snake.

A man was walking down a path in late fall and came across a rattlesnake that could barely move, as it was almost frozen. The snake pleaded with the traveller to pick him up and put him in his pocket to thaw him out. The man said, "no you are a rattlesnake and you will bite me." The snake pleaded with him saying, "why would I bite you when you would be saving my life, please help me!" The man took pity on him, picked him up and placed him in his coat pocket. After a few minutes, the snake had warmed enough to regain his mobility and promptly bit the man. The man screamed, "why did you bite me after I saved your life?" The snake replied, "you knew I was a snake when you picked me up!"

Algore is a snake, don't pick him up, or believe what he tells you!
