Hmm...I'm still out on that one Ode. I have read a lot of things about aspartame from different sources and they all agree that it is a toxic nerve poison. That dorway.com which someone posted for something else, has *huge* articles about it. People that ingest it can get symptoms which mimic things like MS and are misdiagnosed. I know it contains phenylanalin which is a natural substance for the body to use, but it is not necessarily in a *form* or amount that the body can use. Apparently it can also turn into formaldehyde when in certain conditions. I wouldn't touch it with a pole! dee
