Ok, you guys all realize those studies did not cover commercial foods with garlic as an ingredient and even stated that the amount of garlic in commercial foods will most likely not be significant for anything other than a sales pitch. the way the garlic was administered in the tests was and extract given by inter muscular injections. I don't know about you guys but I don't feel like catching my fish every day and giving them a needle.

as for aspartame it is still a accepted sweetener that is suspected to be carcinogenic if taken in enuf quantity to feed a horse. so in other words it is not poisonous or dangerous well unless you had a severe allergy to it but then again peanuts would be illegal if that was the case.
