I recall seeing aspertame on the ingredients of Pediolyte also. But I just checked several bottles of it tonight, both the unflavored and several flavors, and it no longer lists aspertame in the ingredients. It now has sucaryl or something like that. I compared Pediolyte to Gaterade, and although similar they are quite different. The second ingredient (first is water), is glucose (aka dextrose) for Pediolyte and sucrose (cane sugar) for Gaterade. Also Gaterade contains citric acid which Pdeiolyte does not. Marshall
