I wanted to believe this. I have avoided artificial sweetners mostly out
of intuition and a belief that its best to stay simple. But. . .
I looked into this with the help of <HealthCentral.com>. It seems a little
naieve to listen to a media doctor, but I consider his opinions well
balanced. I also assume that he has a good sized staff to look into these
kinds of issues. If anyone can get a second opinion, please do so.
What I found is that this e-mail is circulating around quite a bit, and has
no foundation in truth or science. I'm not recommending aspartame to
anyone. Avoiding financial support for Monsato is a good enough reason for
me to not use the product. But I was about to alert loved ones who use it,
and have decided not to, at least not on the basis of this message.
