It all comes back to the FDA and aparently they rushed the testing and didn't even do long term studies on humans. The studies they did do on humans showed less than stellar results, so they know that even in the short term this stuff can't be good for most people, and yet they still approved it without any further testing. Oh..as for Pepsi Lime, I've had it, its ok. Im surprised I didn't like Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper as much as I thought I would.

I certainly hope you don't believe this. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you just do a google search for splenda, you'll turn up a ton of information about splenda. Some of its pretty scary actually. Diabetics: " One small study of diabetic patients using sucralose showed a statistically significant increase in glycosylated hemoglobin, a marker of long-term blood glucose levels. Glycosylated hemoglobin is used as a marker to assess glycemic control in diabetic patients, and in uncontrolled diabetes, the number is elevated. " I work at a rehab hospital and I would say 40% of the patients are on diabetic diets and they get 3 packets of splenda a day at each meal.. Fat people on low carb diets: "Because sucralose is a chlorinated molecule, when metabolized, some of the chlorine and other substances in splenda (including arsenic, or rat poison) is taken by the system. Alarming? Yes, when we realize that chlorinated molecules serve as the basis for pesticides like DDT and accumulate in body fat." If the toxins accumulate in fat.. http://theearthcenter.com/ff44splenda2.html Granted..not the most reputable site, but it cooroberates with a lot of other sites out there that you can find on splenda or any other artificial sweeteners for that matter. The FDA clearly rushed their approval..very few human tests and the ones that were done were far from positive. Anyway, theres little way to avoid the stuff and eat healthy at the same time, but Id say I try to avoid it as much as possible.

Someone should make a yellow background skin for old time's sake. That hurt my eyes so much.

Reading some websites about the dangers of Splenda (its apparently horrible for your body, but the Government is doing some sort of conspiracy to kill off all the diabetics and fat people on low carb diets..or something..) and Aspartame, I learned a couple of cool facts.. 1) Current Diet Coke is based off the failed New Coke 2) Coca Cola Zero will be based on Coke Classic and should be out sometime this summer 3) Pepsi One will be changed and sweetened with Splenda. Diet Pepsi is based off Regular Pepsi, Pepsi One is some kind of weird concoction they came up with by accident. I dont understand the need for 2 Diet Versions of both Pepsi and Coke, but it might explain why Diet Coke to me tastes nothing like Coke at all.

yeah the auction draft was by far the most fun football draft I've ever done. Too bad the team I drafted sucked ass. In fact, I dont even know why I bother with fantasy sports because I suck at every sport I do.

That last trade was a really good trade for me. Nick Johnson has been absolutely on fire, Burrell has provided my team with some extra pop and Bonderman has pitched ok. Really big improvement in my offense I think. However my pitching has gone downhill, but thats partly my fault taking risks on guys like Ryan Glynn and having to use Daniel Cabrerra because Mike Hampton is out.

Orioles gain a game on the Red Sox, Yankees and possibly the Blue Jays with their win tonight, which is really good. Ryan struck out the side in the 9th to maintain the 4-3 lead. Oh and I see Jeffrey Hammonds retired. I still have his rookie card. /tears it up into little shreds

Sean Casey just tried to take Surhoff's head off tagging him out at first.

Default Skin is the only one selectable. I dont really mind the current skin though..

Its a TRAP! *cue Randy Orton's Music* Its the new plan to feed Legends to Randy..they were running low.

Who is running the TSM league this year, if at all?

Owen Harts Birthday??

He was on MTV's True Life I want to be a Pro Wrestler . . . his gimmick was a paperboy given to him by Les Thatcher. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe in 6 years..he'll actually win a match.

Heyman on commentary! YAY.

Well at least Heidi's new friend isn't a 9 year old kid.

I like how they completely concealed the chairshot.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll assume that rating, which would be bad for regular season, probably isnt much better for the summer season. I wont get too interested in it then, even though it was really good.

Am I the only one getting tired of Angle/Booker? Honestly..how many times can they do this same match?

Im just waiting for Angles real life wife to come on screen and beat Kurt over the head with her purse and pull him out of the arena by his ear.

I wonder how bad these threads will be with SD on Friday. I hope they move the tapings to Wednesdays.

Haas just messed that up BAD.

The slowed down sound made it sound like she was the spawn of satan or something..

BALLS! LOL! I can't believe they didn't mention him on RAW on Cable but he gets a mention on network tv.

Benoit looks...goofy.

No decision on the champion until after the draft is over.. Hmm. Benoit to Smackdown..
