Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 > I don't use aspartame or artificial sweeteners, but: > > http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/aspartame.asp Thank you, Pam!!!! So often these anecdotal things turn out to be untrue - and they circle the internet all the time. That's another reason why it is best to trace such an article or story to its origin, if possible, and to include the SOURCE of every article/anecdote/story. I wish I had seen your post earlier LOL It would have saved me a little time. Ah dear, I must learn to read ahead!!!! Love and hugs, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
