But aspartame is a known neurotoxin (exitotoxin) sol, and has also been cited as causing cancer among other things. I believe it is on the agenda of the FDA at the moment as so many have called for a ban on it. It was banned for many years until Reagan got into power and then it was allowed, as its discoverer was a friend of his (so I read.) My friend suffers from really sensitive skin on her legs and feet and cannot bear to have them even brushed up against. Only one of many of her ailments, so I would have thought that to keep drinking something which is known to damage nerves would be the height of folly. dee
