this little paragraph about ASPARTAME

Aspartame Update:
First hour guest, Betty Martini, the founder of Mission Possible International, shared updates on the dangers of aspartame, and reacted to the recent announcement that the European Food Safety Authority found that the sweetener is safe for people to consume. She noted that when she presented comprehensive medical data to the European Commission on Food in 2002, they wouldn't even look at it, and would only accept the industry's own studies. There is no safe dose of aspartame-- it can convert into formaldehyde inside the body and damage DNA, Martini warned.
===========================================
so when unwitting children or females of our species drink diet soda or anything else
with aspartame in it they are preserving their innards with formaldehyde
your gut is like a nylon stocking (very porous) alowing the Absorption
of nutrients from digestion and will also allow this poison thru too.
