Based on all the safety warnings and dangers in our environment and homes. Did you realize that all of us older than 50 shouldn't be as healthy and happy as we are?

My parents spanked me when I did something wrong. Now a days, if they did that, THEY would be punished. I remember drinking sodas that had a sweetener that is banned by the FDA. I remember cartoons with violence (Tom and Jerry, anyone?).

So either all the warnings and scientific studies are wrong, or it is a miracle that we are as well adjusted as we are. At least that is what 51 of my 70 personalities say.

Fallacious argument No one person cancels the effects of harmful things as its not person specific as 1000 people consuming sugar in large doses will die from it but not all, the exceptions do not negate the truth just as punishment properly administered is not detrimental but when many do it the fact is kids are injured and or abused from physical abuse.. Your assertion is made with no scientific rationale and a statistical sample of exceptions is simply wrong.This is uneducated fuzzy logic.. regards

What are u talking about with this one person banning sweetener. The sweetener was banned by the FDA because they tested it on rats and it was found that it could cause cancer. So the FDA banned it then for some strange reason they lifted the ban on drinks but left the ban on food
