These are the causes, but the comments below the article are very interesting too: Lifestyle and Diet Factors • Smoking and second-hand smoke. • Diet–too much meat, not enough fruits and vegetables. • Suntanning. • Absence of UV sunlight in some regions, reducing cancer-protecting vitamin D. • Obesity, and lack of regular exercise. Other Food Factors • Processed food such as nitrosamines, aspartame, some food colorants. • Bovine growth hormone in milk. • Some salt-cured, pickled, and smoked food. • Sugar and alcohol consumption. • Absence of cancer-protecting compounds in food not grown organically. • Food contaminated with pesticides and herbicides.

POPSSweet Misery: Aspartame Documentary Dr. Woodrow C. Monte wrote: “Methanol has no therapeutic properties and is considered only as a toxicant. The ingestion of two teaspoons is considered lethal in humans” (Monte, Woodrow, “Aspartame: Methanol and the Public Health”, Journal of Applied Nutrition, Vol. 36, Number 1, 1984, p. 44). Though it can hardly be considered good fortune to have an immediate reaction to aspartame, at least you are spared the potential long-term ticking time-bomb of a large array of neurological illnesses. These include, but are not limited to Brain Cancer, Lou Gehrig’s Disease, Graves Disease, Chronic Fatigue, MS and Epilepsy.

POPSFDA Warns about Flu Drug Risks -- Rumsfeld's Tamiflu Included Rumsfeld was the one who got Tamiflu approved and recommended in case of Bird Flu pandemic. Problem is that some children have died, or have psychotic episodes on the drug. Interesting that two of Rumsfeld's drug approvals are for neurotoxins, aspartame (NutraSweet) and Tamiflu, the flu drug.

POPSNutraSweet Story: Rumsfeld and Aspartame Read the whole article to see how this poisonous neurotoxin was pushed on the unwary and ignorant public by former Searle CEO Donald (neocon) Rumsfeld (who probably profited from the stock options afterward). Stop eating anything with NutraSweet if you value your brain function.

POPSMythbusters do the experiment The Mythbusters show did a really cool experiment with Mentos and Diet Coke. They discovered that there were a lot of reasons for why it happened. They tested the ingredients to see which made it happen.

POPSPoisoned By Sugar-Free Gum? First off, I can't stand the taste of any of the "fake" sugars. Even if someone doesn't tell me what I am eating is "sugar-free", I can always tell by the first bite (and there won't be a second). Secondly, when I have made the mistake of consuming such items that are not labeled properly (some coffee creamers are not, I had to go on the web to find a creamer I used daily had fake sugar in it, since it didn't say so on the label, I thought I was just being paranoid about the taste). I started doing research on the creamer when I realized that right after my morning coffee I was lethargic, nauseous, and was in bed with migraines EVERY DAY. As soon as I cut that creamer, as well as other hidden fake sugars in my home (including Splenda and Ace-K), I stopped being nauseas and I only have migraines after a hard night at work and then, only once a month. I am even more scrupulous now about labels. I chew old-fashioned "Juicy Fruit".
