This is absolutely true, that aspartame, and all the other names they have now come up with for it - because it has gotten a bad reputation, justifiably, - is terribly bad for you and addictive.
I say that because I have heard talk radio interview with a real crusader on the use of it. Her name is Dr Betty Martini - medical doctor.
A (Startpage is what I use - user friendly) search on her name gives an impressive list of information.
What I recall is that she and her husband were going to retire but when she found out about this horror show, she began investigating and then began a crusade against it - to educate the public.
There are other names they now use for it - to hide the fact that it is in things. Sorry to say, I have seen that the sweetener in Rush’s Tea is this. I have not sent him an email about it since I figure he wont read it and doesnt want to hear it.
Yes, the way it got approved by the goverment was something Rumsfeld pulled sneaky. For profit.
IMO - with the best health and welfare in mind for all good Freepers !
No it isn't.
