I also had a terrible problem with Aspartame. I used the stuff for many years and all during that time I suffered from terrible depression. Every day I would at some point have an awful sinking feeling, I can’t even describe how bad it really was. I don’t believe in getting pills from a doctor so I just lived with it. To make a long story short I discovered quite by accident it was the NutraSweet I used daily in tea and the couple of diet pops a week I would get. Since I quit using it I have seen many times when I would buy a diet drink at a gas station the next day that horrible feeling would return. Please people if you know anyone who is depressed ask them if they use this product there’s got to be a lot of others out there.
Another place to watch for this is in flavored water.
