Aspartame is an artificial sweetener still found in many products.

While some links to cancer have been made with saccharin, if you must use an artificial sweetener, it is best to use saccharin.

Aspartame - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
Another Aspartame Story...
We received this note from P.O. of Jennings, LA, concerning her use of aspartame and sucralose.
"For over ten years, I used aspartame-type sweeteners in the form of sodas, Jell-o, puddings, cookies, Kool-aid, Crystal Lite, and more. I had frequent recurring headaches almost from the beginning, but never made the connection. I also had a number of allergies show up during that time. In addition to that, I had trouble concentrating on even the easiest of tasks. The best way to describe it is my thoughts seemed "real foggy."

Since my discovery of Splenda, I haven't had near the headaches that occured with aspartame. I have gone from headaches every day, to maybe two or three weeks in a row without a headache. This is a major issue for me. My thoughts have returned to a much more clear way of thinking. And, I love the taste of it!

I recently tried Fiber One cereal and loved the taste (although I thought it was a little too sweet). After a few days, I noticed the foggy thinking coming back. I looked at the label and what do you know... aspartame was in the cereal. I guess I should have checked the label before buying it. I now check all labels to make sure they don't contain aspartame. I just think of it as a poison and stay clear of it. I also discourage any use of it by friends or colleagues."

Thank you P.O. for sharing your story with us.
