< LOL > I think I've been to some of those sites. They sure make aspartame sound like the work of Satan, don't they? I stumbled on those sites when I was trying to figure out why I was addicted to Diet Coke. I noticed that other people were addicted to Diet Coke too, and then when I attended a family gathering, I noticed all my siblings were chugging Diet Coke. It felt like a conspiracy. I've been Diet-Coke-free for about 50 hours now. I feel like I deserve a "chip".
> NutraSweet is the registered TM for Aspartame, a sweetener comprised of Aspartic acid and Phenylalanine, both amino acids I believe.
> At the Google search engine I found many sites referring to problems from ingesting Aspartame. I don't want to sound alarmist, but perhaps it would be a good idea to get further info from some of these sites >
