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
