Anyways, I had a few panic attacks starting several years ago, and now that I think of it, the onset was roughly around the time I started consuming NutraSweet stuff. After consulting a pharmacist friend who avoids the stuff also (mostly because of the “shady” approval process), I tried giving it up, and I’ve felt a lot better since — no panic or anything!
It could be just a coincidence, or it could be just psychological, but I thought I’d post this just in case — especially after hearing from another reader of this newsgroup who suffers from panic and who uses a large quantity of NutraSweet products.
