I don't know about the statement that was made on this list that the original 
PURPOSE of aspartame was as ant poison, but it sure works for that purpose.  
When I demonstrated that fact to my husband, he IMMEDIATELY switched from 
Diet sodas to bottled water!  Previously, he pooh-poohed the whole idea of 
paying for water in the same way you pay for soda, when you can get it 
"freely" from the tap.  I've also been working on him on the junk to be found 
in tap water.  I think what will do it is the whole-house water purification 
system I'm getting ready to have installed, when another house project is 
completed.  I'll bet he'll come around when he sees what's been going through 
the pipes...
