Well, I'm sorry to tell you but MY personal experience is that I feel the same whether having some or being off it completely for years at a time. I just feel no adverse effects from it. It was one of the first things I looked at given my known health issues. If removing something for several years from one's diet doesn't fix anything, and starting up again does not increase anything, I don't see the point, myself. And I have read that it is an individual sensitivity issue, and for us at this house it does seem to be just that, and we have decided not to worry about it. BTW, I do agree the FDA is lax on this, and don't really care how many adverse reports they receive. I even read somewhere that they long ago stopped collecting adverse event data on it. Now, if they were to bring back Cyclamate, which were exonerated umpty ump years ago I'd be a happy camper. Meantime, I try to not use too much of any sweetener, but I don't have any fear of a bit of aspartame now and then.

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
