Aspartame causes a host of problems for many consumers.  Be sure to check product labels regularly to see if the sweetener has been changed.

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

Another Aspartame Story...
We received this note from D.B. concerning her use of aspartame.
"About five years ago, I had a really bad case of the flu. When I'm that sick, all I wanted to eat or drink are saltines and diet ginger ale. I had been drinking diet ginger ale several times a day for over a week.

I still wasn't feeling any better from the flu, so I made a doctor's appointment. While I was waiting to leave for the appointment, I was watching television. All of a sudden, I couldn't see. Everything was so blurry that I thought I was going blind and I was really scared.

My vision improved enough to drive, but was still blurred. My doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he recommended I see my eye doctor. The eye doctor also had no idea what was wrong.

I was sent to an eye specialist who, after performing several tests and asking many questions, concluded that the aspartame in the diet sodas was the cause. I had never head of this, but I rarely drink or eat anything with aspartame."

Thank you D.B. for sharing your story with us.
