Acesulfame K contains the carcinogen methylene chloride. Long-term exposure to methylene chloride can cause headaches, depression, nausea, mental confusion, liver effects, kidney effects, visual disturbances, and cancer in humans. There has been a great deal of opposition to the use of acesulfame K without further testing, but at this time, the FDA has not required that these tests be done.



besides this some studies have shown the body to have the same glucose reaction from it as sugar. so you end up causing the same problem that gives people type2 diabetes and insulin resistance just without the calories.

i'll stick with stevia if i want a sugar substitute. doesn't cause a glucose reaction and doesn't have negative side effects or dangerous long term consequences.

Acesulfame K is a molecule. Maybe methylene chloride is used in its synthesis, but claiming it contains a carcinogen is a blatantly deceptive statement. It's as idiotic as saying methylene chloride is made of carbon and chloride which are known to be safe parts of a normal diet.

Please elaborate on what you seem to think causes diabetes though...

After watching it, I am not even sure I am manly enough to post in this thread.

If you think my opinion is idiotic, re-read yours.
Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.

Someone please explain the marketing to me... you are automatically alienating half the population from a product you are trying... to sell?
