Things are moving along. My project is almost ready to be started. I know I know its just killing you all waiting for me to begin. I just have to order some stuff and its back to the lab. In other news Stomache still isn't doing all it should and there is some problem with the direction of traffic. Thats as descriptive as I feel like being.

Sucralose really pisses me off.
I can deal with all the other fake sugars. Granted they cause cancer and other health problems, but I can deal. Its simple just don't drink products labeled diet and you don't have to worry. Sucralose on the other hand is much sneakier. For a time it was just products labled 50% or 33% less sugar. When I first saw these I was excited. A lot of drinks are really too sweet and need to be cut with water or they taste like syrup so making them with less sugar is a good thing. But no then there was the suprise. We didn't just add less sugar we cramed it full of mutagenic chlorine bonded sugar. What the shit is this? Apparently the american people can't handle a drink if it dosen't have nearly as much sugar or sugar flavor in it as a glass of soda. Just check at your local supermarket, coke 27g, O.J. 23-28g, lemonaide 28g, other juices 25-30g, water based fruit drinks 27g, its just insane.

Ok so here we go again. Now I have to avoid anything labeled 33 or more% less sugar. So I find the V8 splash drinks. I check the back and low and behold only 18g of sugar. This is wonderful. They have a diet version and a 33% less sugar version so I don't bother to read the ingredients. A few weeks later after the moisture sucking flavor has ben annoying me some I do check and what do I find, you guessed it Sucralose. Hiding there among the other shlutz.
So I'm like fuck this I'll just drink HiC. The stuff is sugar and water with a splash of fruit syrup for color. I check the back 20-23g sugar. Not too bad. I check the ingredients, Fucking Sucralose. Apparently the FDA dosen't regulate this stuff for shit and you don't have to put in any sort of warning that chlorinated sugar is in your product.

This is total bull. I think I'm going to have to write a letter.

In good news, I saw Howl's moving castle last night. It was another masterpeice. Myazoki (spelled horribly wrong) is a genuis. His anime is fit for all ages and each one delves into a fantastical world. And unlike most anime they actually have fairly happy endings.
Highly sugested to see.
