I totally avoid artifical sweetners. Its pretty easy really, but I suppose if you drink alot of diet sodas, cordials, squash and things like that, its harder.
I personally find it slightly suspect how aspartame got approved in the US. See the wikipedia article on it.
Basically the US government were not sure whether to approve it (there are studies apparently which link it brain tumours/cancers - even before that recent paper that has come out reltaively recently from Italy) and then Regan came into power, and his buddy had very close ties with the aspartame industry -- suddenly its approved based on *one* study done in Japan. Hmmm it all sounded abit dodgey to me.
Kind regards
