I was out cruising on the net again and ran into your info on Aspartame. I have already found an abundance of info and want to tell you what I know to be true.
In the last ten years, two different chemists at two different labs (for the plastic company that my husband works for) told him that this food was dangerous and never meant to be put into soda because it was toxic. At the time we were both drinking diet Pepsi to help us lose weight, and were experiencing many headaches. I decided to eliminate diet Pepsi from our diet and the headaches went away.
Also about the same time as this happened, I read some information from the food coop that I belong to. They always do a spread sheet on different fats, cereals, flours, sugars etc. One month they had a big article on different sugar and sugar substitutes. The information on Aspartame was frightening; methanol, phenylalanine, and formaldehyde from its metabolism. Well, it didn’t take any more bad news about this for me to eradicate diet Pepsi from my home.
