But don’t try to sell raw milk or we will toss your fanny into the clink.
Many product regulations are horse manure, including the ban on raw milk, but the truth in labeling laws are reasonable. Products should be truthfully labeled with all ingredients that are added.
this stuff gives me migraines
Tasty neurotoxins ping
Which means our criminal government will have no problem with it.
It's only individuals selling raw dairy products to knowledgeable customers that they want to stop.
The big-government/big-corporate criminal complex doesn't cotton to competition.
If you put something in the milk, put it on the label. Don't try to sneak it in. I'll have to check at the store to see if chocolate milk lists sugar and chocolate (and the rest of the chemistry set they probably add) or if they have been able to sneak that in. I even want vitamin D listed as an ingredient if they add it to milk.
As I have an adverse reaction to this chemical, if it were in a product and not listed on the label, even though I hate lawyers with a passion, I would sue immediately.
It might be a great product for other people and I have no problem with its use, I just want to know if I should avoid a product with this sweetener inside.
There are those in our food producing industries who would disclose nothing about their products if they were not required to disclose: nothing about additives, nothing about the nutritional profile, nothing about sugar or sugar substitutes, nothing about country of origin, and nothing about whether food crops used were genetically modified. Of course, they’re getting away with not disclosing GM foods, and the country of origin disclosure is a mixed situation at present.
Yet some claim that requiring such disclosures is an anti-conservative position, and withholding basic information from consumers is somehow conservative.
Information about aspartame:
Aspartame is rapidly hydrolyzed in the small intestines. Even with ingestion of very high doses of aspartame (over 200 mg/kg), no aspartame is found in the blood due to the rapid breakdown.[7] These metabolites have been studied in a wide range of populations including infants, children, adolescents, and healthy adults. In healthy adults and children, even enormous doses of aspartame do not lead to plasma levels of metabolites that are a concern for safety.
(HOWEVER)
Upon ingestion, aspartame breaks down into residual components, including aspartic acid, phenylalanine, methanol,[46] in ratio of 4:5:1 by mass[47] and further breakdown products including formaldehyde[48] and formic acid, accumulation of the latter being suspected as the major cause of injury in methanol poisoning. Human studies show that formic acid is excreted faster than it is formed after ingestion of aspartame. In some fruit juices, higher concentrations of methanol can be found than the amount produced from aspartame in beverages.[14]

Methanol and formaldehyde are not good for people’s bodies.
Unless you are already dead.
Well that’s not good for me, I’m type 1 diabetic. If they are adding High Fructose Corn Syrup or Aspartame to milk, that sucks for diabetics! The HF goes without saying, but as others mention I avoid Aspartame, it is poison.
Is this true? Is sugar already added to milk without identifying it?
That would only be somewhat less horrific than adding aspartame to milk without identifying it.
Can someone please confirm or clarify?
What about aspartame poising?
Prolonged use of aspartame can, in certain individuals, bring about symptoms of MS.

I see no problem with that. It is YOUR personal responsibility to find out what is your food made up of, not the government’s. Label requirements are anti-business and anti-personal responsibility. Label requirements promote laziness among an already fat, whiny, and dependent general population.
Are they talking about chocolate milk? Kids like that better than regular milk so maybe that’s where they want to put it. Surely they don’t mean to sweeten regular milk. That would be stupid - oh, wait...
That used to be known as “adulterated” milk, and it was illegal as all get out.
Aspartame causes a lot of problems for a lot of people, and having it sneaked into any food without labeling is a crime.
