Guest guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Lee, it has been around since the early 70's. I bought Dr. Janet Hull's book about aspartame and it will keep you in tears!! Hearing her story and how the doctors gave her a death sentence to a lady being a activist and loosing her life because she almost was at the breaking point to getting this drug off the market (she was murdered). By the way, the same person that owns aspartame also owns the chemical Round-up. So I do not buy anything that I know he owns. He is prospering from our poor health. If you are going to use a artificial sweetener, use sweet n low. it has been around forever and has been used longer in foreign countries. There has not been any documented cases of cancer caused by it. Although, in America, it caused cancer in rats but it had to do with the makeup of the rat (and we are not anything like rats :<) When you start your research, you will find that article I am sure. I spent about a year studying it. Julie - paisleytrees Sunday, April 30, 2006 10:24 AM Re: Aspertame Rachael Have you any idea how long aspertame has been used?
