I won't get into just how dangerous aspartame is, but I suggest you look at Medline, which has no ax to grind. A food or substance may be more dangerous than the manufacturer would have you beleive without being the all purpose killer that is claimed. The main reason that I am responding to this, though, is that no one seems to be noting that aspartame is being attacked through ad hominem attacks. Look at the only really documented accusations, eg moves of personell from govt to private and back. This is taken as proof that aspartame, or anything else, is a killer?? This is especially amazing, as you are using the EXACT same tactics as you claim the oppositions. As far as the warning by a "nursing sister", I would ALWAYS ask what qualifications anyone has to make such definitive statements. This will also be my last post, I hope, but keep in mind that you cannot post a message of this sort and then tell everyone else NOT to respond out of a sense of duty to the list. -- Kayza
