I know we have a problem with nutrasweet (causes my wife headaches, and it causes my essential tremor to get worse).

Hmmmmm....You are the first person I have seen complain about something I noticed years ago with nutra sweet. I was using it with iced tea and discovered that I was experiencing uncontrolled hand and arm movements and also vocal problems. The stuff was definately affecting my nervous system, ie: brain functions regarding more than one system.

I regard the stuff as dangerous.

Do a Google search on neurology and aspartame; I believe you'll find that the stuff is considered quite dangerous indeed. I know that my sister-in-law (who is an epileptic) was warned not to touch the stuff by her doctor. It somehow lowers the seizure threshold. To make matters worse, most diet soft drinks are made with it.
