Thanks! It was fun to do. I was trying to use the green lights to highlight the 'honda wing' but they aren't very clear. It's good enough!

In Turkey?
How is that surprising? I think you're misinformed about Turkey's weather. The only parts of the country where you don't see snow is the southwestern parts. In fact, the eastern parts are freezing cold in winters. Erzurum, for example, sees -40 °C almost every year.

Just read a news article about a recent EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) meta-study of available research on the effects of the sweetener aspartame (which, as many of you know, widely used in sugar-free drinks). The study concludes that consumption within the already established limits is not harmful in any way.
Enter the conspiracy nuts. The first comment of course pulled one of the silliest arguments out of his hat - it contains methanol! Well, first - no. It is correct that one of the products of metabolism of aspartame is methanol, though. However, the amount of methanol you will have in your bloodstream after drinking e.g. Diet Coke is less than you get from drinking orange juice without aspartame ... but will the conspiracy nuts listen to such arguments? No, and those who put these arguments forward are met with either "follow the money" or "you must be paid by the industry to misinform the public".
And it doesn't stop with aspartame, of course. The same goes for vaccines, other conventional medicine, and lots of other areas. And the ones who see conpsiracies are almost religious in their convinctions. Not just religious. Fanatically so.
Rant over.

So, I have been under the impression that aspertame could cause cancer. Is this at all true? (I can google ) I must admit that I do drink diet soda on occasion, but have often wondered about that.

Ah, I found this:
Considering results from the large number of studies on aspartame's safety, including five previously conducted negative chronic carcinogenicity studies, a recently reported large epidemiology study with negative associations between the use of aspartame and the occurrence of tumors, and negative findings from a series of three transgenic mouse assays, FDA finds no reason to alter its previous conclusion that aspartame is safe as a general purpose sweetener in food.

To put it this way: The sources who say it is dangerous, are not of a nature that leads me to believe them.

Cancer doesn't exist. It's just a conspiracy between the cancer "doctors" and Big Pharma to rip people of money. What they call "cancer" is really nothing but an imbalance of disharmonic energies in the body's quantum system, something which can be prevented easily by eating alkaline food. So,
... stop complaining and eat your soap.
Now I'm hungry. I'm going to have Diet Soda and Soap for lunch.
