Needless to say, he isn't anymore. Thanks. Karla B. Message: 16 Wed, 25 Jul 2001 06:33:22 +0000 " island girl " <island_girl_01 Information about Aspartame (Nutrasweet) Hi all, I just received this email and I was so shocked to learn about the sweetner that I've been using is slowly killing me, I understand that many of you may already knew about using Stevia, but to the newbies perhaps is something to consider if you want to live longer... please take a little time and read it, or just pass it on to someone you care about you may help them too live awhile longer... I just went to the health food store and got some Stevia I'm switching right now. island girl > > Brogan, Margaret > Tuesday, July 10, 2001 7:42 AM > #SF AZ S03 All > Information about Aspartame (Nutrasweet) > > I think this is worth sharing.
