  • Of course the amount of sugar they consume from soft drinks will decrease if they've changed all the soft drinks to contain aspartame instead of sugar.

    The question is does this actually improve people's health?

    There are lots of suggestions that artificial sweeteners are harmful to health in their own ways

    And the evidence they reduce weight compared to sugar is not clear cut.

    This seems like a study designed to make the sugar tax seem like a good thing, but it misses the crucial point, which is whether this improves health.

    They've failed to mention that the decrease in sugar consumption will correspond with an increase in aspartame consumption

  • Passover is a weird thing. The "angel of death" slaughtered Egyptian children over night and for some reason needed marks to be placed over the doors of Jewish houses.

    I have my doubts about whether it was really a supernatural event

  • Yeah, if the irritant is capsaicin I would think that milk would wash it off sensitive tissue more effectively than water as capsaicin is more lipid soluble than water soluble. I think if you eat a spicy chili, to stop the pain you need to wash the irritant off your tongue and milk does this more effectively than water.
