While some links to cancer have been made with saccharin, if you must use an artificial sweetener, it is best to use saccharin. site map	Another Aspartame Story... We received this note from S.F. concerning her use of aspartame. "I'm a 42-year old female who had a partial thyroid lobectomy two weeks ago. My diagnosis was multinodular goiter. Although thyroid conditions run in my family, they, until now, begun at 65 or older. At 39 I was diagnosed with the "goiter." I began to do lots of research online, understanding that some of the data was based on hunches only. One of the interesting things I discovered was that aspartame may be linked to the tumors in my thyroid. And, that made sense to me as only two years before I had switched from regular to diet soda in an attempt to stay healthy and reduce weight. I laugh and say "I'm a heavy drinker"--I would drink diet soda all day long.  I no longer drink the two liters or more daily. It may be the caffeine, but when I drink tea or coffee with Sweet-n-Low I have none of the symptoms from drinking diet soda. When I started drinking water instead of soda, I noticed something interesting happening--I no longer had that "foggy brain syndrome" or metal "buzz"I usually got during the day when I was was drinking all that soda. So... who knows. I'm not a scientist, but I know how I feel.  I feel better when I stay away from aspartame."
