This is exactly the reason why I dont feel like I can join in on alot of threads. I've noticed it alot with this forum, when someone posts a thread, some times it ends up with a couple of people objecting, then an overall majority of people agreeing, and to be fair on most threads its the same names ect that pop up onto threads, with not much to contribute to the discussion apart from one or 2 lines which "seems" to back up their friends. I say seems because there is no other valid point apart from...I agree with so and so. To me, its a bit pointless and does move towards more of a....i'm on their side and not yours. If its a topic you feel strongly on or would like others to hear, then brilliant, even better, but alot of such posts there's no actual views expressed. I suppose it kinda makes others feel like they dont belong to the gang, if that makes sense?
Luckily I've had alot of brilliant discussions on this forum, but unfortunately this is one of the ones that could actually help people to make an informed decision but they end up being put off with the needless bickering.
Aspartame is dangerous in any quantity wether its one glass on a night out or one every night, its one of those things, as with the others mentioned where we have to decide for ourselves what we are willing to do/not do with regards to our pregnancy, we dont even need to tell anyone else about it, on here or other, I felt the need to speak out about the aspartame posts because its something I feel very strongly about, and have researched alot, and tbh I probably know more about it than pregnancy. That doesn't give me the right to tell you's what I think you should do, or what is the right thing to do. I only meant to come on this to share my knowledge - not trying to sound like a know it all or anything but you know what I mean.
