For the hangover condition, they flew 14 hours after drinking
enough ethanol mixed with diet soft drinks to attain a blood
alcohol concentration of 100 mg/dl.

A questionable study, if in fact the ethanol was "mixed with diet
soft drinks" that contained aspartame (a confounding variable).Â*
Aspartame, according to retired food scientist Dr Woodrow Monte (a
former neighbor of mine in the South Island), is the most dangerous
food additive on the market today.Â* It changes the ratio of amino
acids in the blood, blocking or lowering the levels of serotonin,
tyrosine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and adrenaline..Â* Even though it
is touted as natural, it has a synthetic methyl group on one of the
amino acids that rapidly breaks down to methanol (wood alcohol).
According to Dr Monte, methyl alcohol is metabolized differently in
the human body compared to other animals, and is far more toxic in
humans, which is why studies have trouble nailing down the hazards
related to aspartame, because most rely on animal, not human
studies.Â* Methyl alcohol, after it is taken up by the body as a
"Trojan horse" into susceptible tissues such as the brain, converts
rapidly into formaldehyde, causing serious damage to proteins and DNA.

Fresh fruits and veggies contain minute amounts of methanol, but
there's a natural mechanism that makes it harmless. Pectin firmly
binds to methanol, allowing it to simply pass through your body and
be excreted, because the human body does not have the enzymes to
break that bond.Â* If you or anyone you know drinks diet sodas (or
uses NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, Equal-Measure), then have him or
her look at Woody's website -- WhileScienceSleeps dot com.Â* Or get a
copy of his book, as I did -- While Science Sleeps, a Sweetener Kills.

And, for the record (being as I am P7 SCUM), Gary quaffs more of his
own brew on both contest days and rest days than does any other
competitor.Â* Perhaps there's a *secret ingredient* in Papa 7 Brewery
kegs that confers a competitive advantage.

Yet another aspartame hoax:

There are scientific studies showing more than two diet drinks a day
are linked to some health issues, including strokes. This new article
by Consumer Reports covers some them:
