    Hello John
    Thanks for posting this, I gave up sweeteners many years ago when they were banned in the USA...I hope others read this and take heed .
    Sorry should point out it was banned in some American states...
    Love
    Barbara

    Hi John

    I heard about this a while back

    luckily I have never taken any diet/sugar free alternatives anyway I don't think it's good for me and I really don't like the taste.

    Love

    Their health risks are well-documented but there's nowt wrong with repeating stuff (for example look at the repetition on here!) I reckon one would have to ingest huge amounts of these things for harm to be caused but, looking at the number of 'fatties' everywhere, maybe people do. :? If I was a sugar-in-tea person then it would be the real thing, the same applies to butter, cheese, in fact anything that comes in a 'lite' version: all to be avoided at all costs 'cos they ain't natural. It's common sense, no? DD

    That is one reason why I do not like taking my Osteoporosis (OP) drug Protelos every evening as one of the ingredients is aspartame (E951)........

    Anyone else find there is aspartame in the meds they are prescribed?

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    I will not depress you by posting the long list of all the over the counter and prescription drugs that contain aspartame.......

    I think aspartame scares are not new. It was first approved in the UK in 1982 and, following anecdotal scares, it was re-assessed and re-approved in 2002. It was concluded that the only people at risk are those suffering from a very rare genetic disease phenylketonuri.
