Pushed through legislation, this sweetner is in many products if only you looked at the list of ingredients! "potentially" unsafe for you!

Keep away from aspartame, and check out

Betty Martini and the 'Mission Impossible' campaign has been working on this issue since 1993 - for some information on it see  http://www.dorway.com/possible.html She has in the past done tours of the UK talking about this.

Phenanalyne (sorry about the bad spelling) is a toxin long linked to cancer of different types, yet is a compound in asparteme which is the main component of artificial sweetners, such as Neutrasweet, etc. Look at many packets of processed foods containing artifical sweetners and you will see the warning. Now, people will actually understand what that warning means.
