I personally avoid Aspartame like the plague. It makes me moody, achy & just plain yucky feeling. (How’s that for a scientific description?) I’ve gotten my mom and some of my friends to stop using it and they all said they felt better after stopping their use of it.
Drinking regular sodas instead of diet didn’t increase my weight or anything else detrimental. I wasn’t as hungry after returning to regular soda. NutraSweet seems to make me hungry (huh, how’s that for a diet food?)
I really don’t recommend anyone use it. I know that saccharin is not exactly good for you but it seems to be a hell of a lot better than Aspartame.
