This is only part 1. The remainder is available on YT (if you remember to continue...). Aspertame, a.k.a. Nutrasweet, a.k.a. Equal, turns to formaldehyde in your body. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a written &lt;a href="http://www.sweetpoison.com/aspartame-side-effects.html"&gt;list&lt;/a&gt; of the side effects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See this &lt;a href="http://www.diagnose-me.com/cond/C237252.html"&gt;article&lt;/a&gt;. Here is an extract: Aspartame breaks down into methanol, amino acids and several other chemicals. The methanol is quickly absorbed and converted into formaldehyde. The methanol found in foods and alcoholic beverages is also absorbed, but there are "protective chemicals" in these traditionally-ingested foods and beverages that prevent the conversion of methanol to formaldehyde.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Formaldehyde is known to cause gradual damage to the nervous system, the immune system and has recently been shown to cause irreversible genetic damage at long-term, low-level exposure. The calculated level of formaldehyde exposure is approximately 61.3mg for every liter of aspartame ingested. That is over twice the level necessary to cause irreversible genetic damage in humans and several times the level shown to cause chronic neurological, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and other symptoms in long-term industrial exposure research. The damage caused by formaldehyde from aspartame may be worsened by other aspartame breakdown chemicals, especially the aspartic acid. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Yummy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2250796404593947165-9214674514568765124?l=sign-of-the-dollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2250796404593947165/posts/default/9214674514568765124'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2250796404593947165/posts/default/9214674514568765124'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sign-of-the-dollar.blogspot.com/2010/03/aspertame.html' title='Aspertame'/><author><name>SignOfTheDollar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01316007407549116411</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2250796404593947165.post-9108387482575044458</id><published>2010-03-22T22:18:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2010-03-22T23:36:53.871-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Health'/><title type='text'>HFCS</title><content type='html'>High Fructose Corn Syrup &lt;a href="http://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S26/91/22K07/"&gt;article&lt;/a&gt; from Princeton.&lt;br /&gt;Watch this video &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM"&gt;Sugar - The Bitter Truth&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Deadly stuff.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2250796404593947165-9108387482575044458?l=sign-of-the-dollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S26/91/22K07/' title='HFCS'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2250796404593947165/posts/default/9108387482575044458'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2250796404593947165/posts/default/9108387482575044458'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sign-of-the-dollar.blogspot.com/2010/03/hfcs.html' title='HFCS'/><author><name>SignOfTheDollar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01316007407549116411</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2250796404593947165.post-1514562949914679543</id><published>2010-03-16T09:39:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2010-03-22T21:16:49.532-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Philosophy'/><title type='text'>Humans as livestock</title><content type='html'>This is an interesting &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMdw24f0XmA"&gt;video&lt;/a&gt;.

It should have been delivered in a format mixture of DVD, PSP, Wii, PS123, XBOX.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out 22:30, the guy with the black golf shirt and green collar doing his own recycling program.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2250796404593947165-1376200592076606365?l=sign-of-the-dollar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PndeWksuTjg' title='Economics Of Recycling - By Dr. Floy Lilly'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2250796404593947165/posts/default/1376200592076606365'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2250796404593947165/posts/default/1376200592076606365'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sign-of-the-dollar.blogspot.com/2010/03/economics-of-recycling-by-dr-floy-lilly.html' title='Economics Of Recycling - By Dr. Floy Lilly'/><author><name>SignOfTheDollar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01316007407549116411</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2250796404593947165.post-6978699499177717754</id><published>2010-03-09T22:43:00.015-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-21T08:36:47.437-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gold Standard'/><title type='text'>The Good, The Bad And The Ugly</title><content type='html'>After the 3 way &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXldafIl5DQ"&gt;gunfight&lt;/a&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see this world has 2 kinds of people in it, my friend, those with loaded guns, and those who dig.

That means a 4200 sq ft footprint for land area&amp;nbsp;(for home and business) for 4 people. Rather&amp;nbsp;generous in my humble opinion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This means that if all the people in the world were crammed into 1 large urban area, it would be&lt;br /&gt;6,800,000,000&amp;nbsp;people x 0.0001 sq km = 680,000 sq km = 825 km x 825 km = 502 miles x 502 miles&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The density of 10m x 10m / sq km = 10,000 people / sq km = higher density than Singapore (7022 in 2009) and lower than Monaco (16,923 in 2009).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The area needed&amp;nbsp;would be&amp;nbsp;about the size of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_area"&gt;Texas&lt;/a&gt; (some people would need to take turns swimming).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To think that such a small urban area would be needed to house all the people, means that&amp;nbsp;some of the remaining world's surface area&amp;nbsp;would be&amp;nbsp;used to support these people with&amp;nbsp;(wealth producing) products for food, clothing and shelter (as well as nose pegs). The urban centre could survive with (wealth consuming) services as it already does in&amp;nbsp;high density cities. Hey, we could even afford to stretch our legs and afford another 502 sq miles. Maybe a few people could afford an idyllic remote vacation spot to get away from it all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't get me wrong. I am not suggesting we all move to Texas, but&amp;nbsp;I am&amp;nbsp;illustrating&amp;nbsp;how few of us there actually&amp;nbsp;are on this planet.&amp;nbsp;We actually inhabit 0.456% of the land area. 680,000 sq km are required / &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth"&gt;148,940,000 sq km of land&lt;/a&gt; = 0.456% usage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the first time in history that we are being convinced (not very well - &lt;a href="http://www.algore.com/"&gt;Al baby&lt;/a&gt;) that humans are more powerful than Mother Nature. This cannot be. (ever tried to stop a &lt;a href="http://library.thinkquest.org/C003603/english/hurricanes/hurricanepower.shtml"&gt;hurricane&lt;/a&gt;?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We cannot be affecting the climate. There are not enough of us here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only way we could prove that we are bigger than Mother Nature&amp;nbsp;is to&amp;nbsp;detonate all the &lt;a href="http://www.cdi.org/nuclear/database/usnukes.html"&gt;nukes&lt;/a&gt; in existence all at once. Then we would all die and the world would be uninhabitable for a while.

These helixes are&amp;nbsp;coupled together with bases (that form&amp;nbsp;genetic code) that are not polarized.&amp;nbsp; This is the best&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://cnx.org/content/m11411/latest/"&gt;webpage&lt;/a&gt; explanation I have seen to date.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The positive helix swirls around the negative helix using our genetic code "bases" to keep them apart. Here is a good &lt;a href="http://www.bioinformaticsweb.org/2009/02/dna-structure-video-tutorial/"&gt;video&lt;/a&gt; of how DNA is structured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may ask why I am interested in this? Who cares? Well, I do. I am a lateral thinker of sorts. When I heard that DNA has polarity, and the interior is not polarized, and the bases repeat every 10 pairs,&amp;nbsp;this was a "eureka" moment for me.&amp;nbsp;You must&amp;nbsp;make the mental connections yourself, as I am not (and cannot) give it to you on a silver platter. If the masses do not make the connection,&amp;nbsp;but a small remnant does, then great, I have made my point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is incredible that&amp;nbsp;the "positive" helix never touches or even sees the mirror image "negative" doing exactly the same thing in reverse, swirling around in a beautiful helix. If they touch, they die. The bases that keep them apart are doing the genetic "work", making amino acids that form our genetic make-up some story the wife'll believe, much used in the practise makes perfect of psycho analaysister and brother, and ocuppied-piper by the right honourable #1, 2, 3, 4, for the last 5 years to the memory... sorry, I must have &lt;a href="http://mzonline.com/bin/view/Python/AssociationSketch"&gt;about-a-flu&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everybody knows about positive and negative electricity, and that the "load" between the "poles" does the work (unless you have been hiding under a rock your whole life). Some devices sip energy, some are energy hogs. It is interesting that the device can work both ways; a motor can spin backwards, for example, if the negative and positive are reversed. You do not know which way is correct, just that it spins. If you can relate to &lt;a href="http://keelynet.com/unclass/magcurnt.txt"&gt;Ed Leedkalnin&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and his findings, you may have a slightly different view on electricity, but that is a whole 'nother posting. It is impossible to make electricity do work without positive as well as negative. You cannot have just the positive, and the negative needs the positive. The 2 must co-exist in harmony, but don't short-circuit the poles, as there will be trouble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor"&gt;Transistors&lt;/a&gt;, depending on their purpose,&amp;nbsp;take an input and send an output to amplify or switch electicity depending on the needs of the circuit. The internal structure of a transistor is non-polar (insulator) or polar (conductor) which makes it a semi-conductor. There a a few different types of transistors. Our non-polar "bases" between the "poles"&amp;nbsp;act like transistors, sending or stopping signals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are now at the point&amp;nbsp;where I trust you will continue&amp;nbsp;to make more connections&amp;nbsp;in the most &lt;a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/nock/nock-arch.html"&gt;philosophical way&lt;/a&gt; about&amp;nbsp;my meagre&amp;nbsp;explanation above. If I&amp;nbsp;knew the answers, no amount of probing will get&amp;nbsp;facts to spew from my lips, as there is just&amp;nbsp;a fleeting "eureka" moment. Waterboard me.
