Don't believe everything you read over the net....

Artificial Sweeteners (WebMD)

"It is true, says Hattan, that aspartame ingestion results in the production of methanol, formaldehyde and formate -- substances that could be considered toxic at high doses. But the levels formed are modest, and substances such as methanol are found in higher amounts in common food products such as citrus juices and tomatoes"

wow, do you see that aspartame stuff sizzle when you pour on it! seemed noisy for mere dilution, isn't it actually reacting? any chemists about?

Artificial is evil, notice most of the people that are fat are the ones who diet? The ones who try to avoid heart disease get it? Artificial Fat (hydrogenated oil) it's in everything and is a primary cause of heart disease. Eat the real stuff! Also, naturally vegetable oil has vitamin E in it, but not the stuff you buy off the shelf.

Not good...

Might as well use organic sugar if you want it sweet...

Staying with natural, whole foods seems to work for me.

I almost never get sick, and my weight stays in the proper range for my height.

I respect this guy's opinions on health
