Clarification: When I write, I don't prepare or organize my ideas, I just write what I would say if I was talking to you in person, so sometimes my blogs end up a little messy. I don't even proof-read what I write before posting it so you may find grammatical mistakes and poorly written sentences. Sometimes I'll read my blogs a day or two after publishing them and I may re-write things that weren't too clear and any embarrassing grammatical mistake. Also, English is not my first language, so I apologize if reading my blogs become a struggle. Of course, if this is the case, I would imagine you wouldn't continue reading.

The Poorly Written Instruction Manual Of Skepticism.
It appears to me that a lot of people have been using the terms skeptic, skeptical and skepticism incorrectly. I keep reading/hearing people labeling themselves as skeptics just because they have doubts of well established facts that happen to be against their own personal beliefs. That is not skepticism, but I'm not sure what it's called. Denial? Maybe bias? Delusion? I don't know. What I do know is that while the dictionary definition may actually describe accurately their behavior, they are not part of what is considered modern skepticism, the kind that aligns itself with reason and science. This is my silly attempt to explain skepticism to the 2 or 3 people who may end up reading these poorly written words.

The Killer Truth About Aspartame

I can't remember the number of times I've had a conversation about this infamous food sweetener, and it's mind boggling the amount of incorrect information people will spread convinced it's the truth, even when they don't know where it came from or that it came from a very sketchy source. I'm going to attempt to put an end to the aspartame debate, which hasn't been a real debate for quite a while.
