When we went back to New Zealand recently, my mother tried to get me Metamucil, that nice healthy high-fibre health supplement for bowel and digestion health problems. Did I mention the word health enough there? None of the health food shops stock Metamucil in New Zealand, though you can get it at the pharmacies. This surprised me. The doctors here in Australia recommend it, nutrionists don't tend to say a bad thing about it, it's advertised heavily on TV as something you should be taking daily, regardless. We can all do with more fibre in our diet, yeah?

After all, I took it for over 2 years when I first had bowel problems back in 2001. And I've been taking it daily since recovering from surgery for the last two months.

Why would New Zealand health experts not stock and advise against it?

Aspartame. A $1Billion Industry.

And a wonderful artifical sweetner found in diet sodas, artifical sugars like Nutrasweet and Equal, diet foods/cakes/vaginas/drinks/penises/whatever. It's in everything that is considered not good for you. Because, you know, you don't want sugar in there! (Aspartame is so good, that diabetics cannot have it, sugar would be better for them, hmmm). And it's one of the main ingredients in Metamucil, all varities, including the Original Tasteless Classic Recipe.

Aspartame was denied 8 times by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) back in 1973 and 23 years later, after many changes in legislation, board members and lots of cock-sucking, it was approved for general use in 1996. Despite having over 92 known side-effects on humans including memory loss, nerve cell damage, migraines, reproductive disorders, mental confusion, weight gain, food cravings, hair loss, blindness, joint pain, Alzheimers, bloating and nervous system disorders to name but a few. When ingested, one of aspartame's ingredients, methyl alcohol converts to formaldehyde, you know, that neurotoxin we use to make resin, glue and all that other poisonous shit we use to bind together the exteriors of our lives. Not so much the interiors though. (Thanks to the book Skinny Bitch for this info).

Great, eh? So I ingested this shit for over 2.5 years to help my bowel problems and ended up with bowel cancer, regardless. 

How the fuck has the Australian health industry missed this? Are too many cocks being sucked, arse being rimmed, vaginas being stuffed, palms being greased, or just head buried deep in the fucking sand as someone inserts another fistful of greasy dollars? Perhaps.

I'm taking Flaxomucil now, which doesn't have anything artificial in it. (Damien, you reading this? Stop ingesting that other shit now!) It actually tastes better (ie has less flavour), doesn't make me shudder after drinking it, and doesn't actually dissolve in water so you have to drink it while it's still swirling.

Court case. Pay me out. Give me back my rectum!
