Shit, and I just put another sweet and low in my coffee....
Thanks for the info, I think I'll go back to plain old sugar. I guess teeth are a little less important than eyesight, headaches, etc., etc.
NO MORE!!

i don't have any problems with aspartame, and i drink between 8 and 12 diet sodas a day (pepsi one, diet dr p, diet vanilla coke, etc). i've heard all the rumors, read all the reports...personally, no problems. in fact, i prefer the drink when it's just a caffeine rush...as opposed to the roller-coaster you put your blood sugar levels through when you drink all the sugar in regular soda.
sucralose is coming next, it's an artificial sweetener made from sugar. if you can find diet rc cola or a fruit-flavored water-type beverage called "Fruit H2O", try them out. they're sweetened with sucralose, and pretty darned tasty, if you ask me. = )

it's pop culture mythology based on a paranoid view of the government. the vast majority of papers claiming aspartame will kill you do so by telling you that the FDA is involved in a massive corporate conspiracy to keep aspartame "on the streets"

Aspartame is evil. It gives me a crackin' migrane!

funny how the article posted that says to avoid aspartame lists the experience of a pilot who got seizures from drinking aspartame containing soft drinks.
it's funny because seizures are not uncommon in people with *allergies* to phenol compounds, which aspartame is. the article makes no mention of this.
