		<description>The reason I am responding is because I believe Canada has found the answer to cancer. I know this is a serious issue, and this is NOT a joke. There is a company in Canada called UMAC, the owner/creator of the product HAD cancer himself.  He is an schellfish farmer/inventor that found a way to harness phytoplankton from the Pacific Ocean.  Historically we have spent billions in searching the rainforest, and giving money to scientists to come up with a drug, but these never seen before recoveries are coming from an all natural FOOD found in the Ocean.  What has eluded man has now been found and you can help spread the good news!!This is also not a one time fluke, there are others that have had their cancer, and not to mention other problems (diabetes, eczema, psoriasis, and fatigue) all disappear. If you yourself or anyone else you know want to be free of that sickness please visit http://www.umacworks.comwww.umacworks.com clearly explains why we believe it works and how this will save the World from major disease.  It is so easy it makes nothing but sense. Now that you have been told the truth it is your obligation to tell everyone else, and I can guaranatee that you telling someone sick about UMAC will not come back void.Please spread this wonderful news!!!</description>

		<description>Granted I have never had cancer, thank God, but I do know that everyone deals with things in different way.  Personally, I prefer the way you do.</description>

		<description>grrr... I guess I am motivated enough to refer back to that paper. You have know idea how buried it was. I seriously could&#039;ve used the last half hour for homework...what a dork.Anyway in a nutshell, that&#039;s Aspartyl phenylalanine-1-methyl ester, 85 degrees F, diketopiperazine, headaches, nausea, vertigo, insomnia, numbness, blurred vision, blindness and other eye problems, memory loss, slurred speech, depression, personality changes, hyperactivity, stomach disorders, seizures, skin lesions, rashes, anxiety attacks, muscle cramping and joint pain, loss of energy, symptoms mimicking heart attacks, hearing loss and ear ringing, and loss or change of taste (of course not every body gets side effects), and 1981.</description>

		<description>Aspartame&#039;s the devil. I had to write a paper on it a while ago... =shudder= ...flashing back...Aspartal-phenylalanine-1-methyl ester (which is what NutraSweet and Equal are made of) is made from the amino acids phenylalanine and aspartic acid, and methanol (wood alcohol). It&#039;s all right to use in cooler foods and drinks, but it breaks-up into its constituent chemicals when it gets much hotter than, like, 90 degrees F, I think. I don&#039;t remember if it will do all that in your body (I&#039;m not motivated enough to go find that paper), but I do remember that the methanol will continue to break down after ingestion. It becomes formic acid, some weird thing called DKP (uhh..Dyke...Dyka..Dike..top..orazine...? Yeah, I don&#039;t remember. But it&#039;s also known to cause brain tumors), and formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is embalming fluid, but, wait, there&#039;s more-- it&#039;s also carcinogenic, and can lead to coma and/or death. Yay! I seem to remember that there was a real big list of fun side effects too... Anyway, the whole rats-with-brain-tumors thing got the FDA to un-approve it, after it had already been approved in the 70&#039;s. Throughout the 70&#039;s, the CEO at G.D. Searle (since cannibalized by Monsanto), Donald Rumsfeld, helped it on it&#039;s way to final approval in the early 80&#039;s. (Maybe 1981?) I guess I should point out that Monsanto also makes bovine growth hormone, Round-Up weed killer, and, once upon a time, made the now-unpopular Agent Orange. Mmmmm... Orange-y.</description>

		<description>So help me understand...only if you drink the equivalent of two fridepacks a day do you flirt with the cancer, but any quantity less than that is somehow magically, shall we say, benign?  Let&#039;s don&#039;t be silly now.  And the fact that in the lab rats it shows some tendency toward a cumulative effect....hmmm.   Fatty confessed to drinking down at least a two litre bottle everyday.  I like the Fatty, and I worry at his copious consumption of embalming fluid...</description>
