Whenever I see someone post a question regarding ASPARTAME (which is Nutrasweet)...I alway feel compelled to reply. It is very dangerous. I suffered for an entire year when it first came out in diet sodas...(way back when)...I suffered with severe migraines and almost comatose like sleeping. I went from doctor to doctor to doctor and finally found out that it was the Nutrasweet. It has been known to cause brain tumors as well as many other things. Once I stopped ingesting anything containing it, I was perfectly fine. I have been so happy since Splenda came out!!!!!!
