On the few times I accidentally take a sip, I taste metal and get a headache. No thanks.
Cyclamates are the safest artificial sweetener. So they banned them.
Just like J&J had the safest (or only real) Covid vaccine, so they banned it.
Tried it once and had ringing in the ears for hours on end.
I carefully read labels to avoid aspartame.
Apparently it turns into formaldehyde in the brain.
It’s on the no drink list for epilepsy.
All of the sugar alternatives give me tummy troubles. No thanks. It’s easier to cut back on sugar than to use the other kinds, for me anyway.
Who knows? Medicine is corrupt and only cares about money and left-wing politics. The tree-hugger supplement vegan crowd all sorts of nutjob claims.
SINCE WHEN ARE THERE “ADDITIVES” TO HONEY????
As you probably know, the late Donald Rumsfeld was involved in the development and approval process of aspartame.
Rumsfeld was CEO of G.D. Serle & Co., a company that developed and sought FDA approval for the artificial sweetener.
Rumsfeld used his government contacts at the FDA to suppress about potential dangers of aspartame. He was later involved in negotiations to sell Serle to Monsanto in 1985. The FDA ultimately approved it after further review and disagreement with claims of potential brain damage and tumors.
Rumsfeld served as Secretary of Defense first under Ford, later under George W. Bush. I appreciated his leadership under W., but all things considered, I suppose that means what? Nobody is perfect.
may, suggests, possibly, could etc. All conclusive data.
I wonder who financed this crusade against something?
Been using it since the 80s
Still a conservative
Still alive.
No headaches
No cancer
No zombie-like reactions whatsoever.
YMMV
Brought to you by the people who make sugar.
I’ve switched to xylitol at home and stevia whenever possible when I eat out.
Stevia can be dangerous, just ask Heisenberg
Just stop eating sweets and you’ll lose the taste for them.

bkmk
If people ate real food, their tastes would change and sweet stuff would be far less appetizing to them.
Our tastes are corrupted by a high salt and high sugar diet from a very young age.
Did the makers of aspartame finance the research?
I hear you can buy Coke with sugar to sweeten it at Oriental supermarkets. They might be bringing in Mexican coca cola
We’re all different and react differently to many things. I have been using aspartame sweetened soft drinks since they first came out - my mom was diabetic and we didn’t have sugary drinks in the house, so I got used to sugar free. I always hated saccharine, though - tastes bitter to me. Aspartame was such a relief when it came out - tastes fine to me and no apparent problems from it. Splenda also tastes good to me, and I can use it in cooking where aspartame doesn’t work. I’ve tried stevia but it tastes metallic to me. Haven’t tried Swerve yet - my doc says it is the best one health wise, but it’s really expensive.
