ASPARTAME IN
WONDERLAND
Another independent research into the
dangers of the sweetener aspartame has brought again negative
results. The Italian Ramazzini Institute has conducted a
long-term scientific research in which it demonstrated a link
between leukaemia and aspartame, even at doses much lower than
the ADI (Acceptable Daily Intake). Why is it that previous
research had never shown that? The Ramazzini research had let
their rats die a natural death before they conducted autopsies
looking for tumours. That hadn't been done before.

THE ADHD GRINDER
The opinions about ADHD in the media are divided. Sweden is no exception to that and the two sides gained each their own face in the debate the past years. On one side there's professor Christopher Gillberg, a psychiatrist from the University of Gothenburg, a pioneer in the world when it comes to ADHD as a brain disorder. On the other side stands Eva Kärfve from the University of Lund, who claims there's no evidence for such theory. The dramatic developments in this debate have caused such scandals, it could easily turn into a Hollywood movie with Russell Crowe, ending with a possible imprisonment of Gillberg.

The Sweet Lie
The controversy around aspartame - the artificial sweetener - never ends. Though the consumer will notice none of that in the supermarket. A growing assortment of food and drinks that contains aspartame even indicates it's a safe and accepted additive. The media write divided about it: the scaremongers versus the smooth-talkers. Can it be that black and white?

ADHD: The New World Disorder
The pharmaceutical industry flourishes like never before. Prozac, Viagra, Ritalin are familiar names in daily life. The chemical revolution in our evolution has taken place. Our society can't function anymore without medicines and the pharmaceutical multinationals are the pillars of the economy. That's why we didn't enter alarm-phase one when hearing that 6 million hyperactive children in the US are using severe medicines without having feeling ill prior. Europe tries to catch up.

The Future of Remembering
In the United States many women report incest to the police after they remember the damage through therapy. And in Europe just like in America there is an increasing resistance against these claims. In Holland and several other European countries advisers of the government report the situation of repressed memories as 'total nonsense'
