I am just full of questions this morning!


I got an email from a friend, and before passing it on, thought I would come here and ask about it.


Basically, the email states the dangers of Apsertame, namely the ingredient used in artificial sweeteners.

i have heard about it. it also effects memory in older people.

my parent's doctor's won't let them go on those things for that reason.

i have also read and heard that the chemical make up is like embombing fluid. pleasant huh

from what i understand splenda is actually better for you. there aren't as many chemicals used in it and there is a difference in how it is made.

when i do drink coke i will get a "real" one because of that. i also think one won't hurt too badly.

my parents love splenda and i know down here it's being seen in every major restaurnaut and what not and replacing the pink stuff.

Years of practice, and visits to my grandpa's farm outside of College Station in TX gave me a hardened tummy...Dr. Pepper was like water there.

I've heard the same things about aspartame and my mom is highly allergic to it. If she has any she breaks out in boils.


Aspartame is not in all artificial sweeteners though. Equal has saccharin in it, not aspartame. I like splenda too, I heard it's derived from real sugar so hopefully it will turn out to be better than aspartame.
