It has always bothered me that Aspartame is pronounced as "Safe" simply because it has not been shown to cause cancer. Like there are no other diseases or disorders it may cause.
I went through a very bad series of migraines last year. When I searched for what I could have been doing differently to cause them I discovered that the gum I had started chewing -- two pieces a day -- had aspertame. I stopped immediately and the headaches were gone within two days. They put aspertame into nearly all gum, even the "normal sugar" kind. They put it into low-carb bread products. It is in Benefiber chewables. It is in children's re-hydrating drinks. I try so hard to keep artificial sweeteners out of my house. Some always seems to slip through. (The latest? Thomas' Whole Wheat English Muffins. WHY??!!)
