Others are brain tumors/lesions (brain cancer), brain damage, seizures, vision problems, birth defects, memory loss on and on and on--to 92. Aspartame may trigger, mimic, or cause Multiple Sclerosis, Alzeimer's Disease, Attention Deficit Disorder, Epilepsy, Fibromyalgia, Lymphoma, and others. It is documented that aspartame also causes fat storage, increases appetite for sweets and fatty foods, and kills the metabolism, making it so you cannot lose weight! I wouldn't even use this stuff in moderation! It is called "poison" by many for a very good reason!yodasmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149891515300202627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12320946.post-74590950122380933372009-10-02T22:24:39.282+08:002009-10-02T22:24:39.282+08:00A friend of Dad’s once ran a mine in the Eastern S...A friend of Dad’s once ran a mine in the Eastern States, the entire output of which went to France for antacids.

Two main reasons:<br /><br />1. They taste bad. P&N drinks are no exception.<br /><br />2. Call me simple, but if one is having too much of something (e.g. sugar, butter), I reckon reduce it. I'm wary of too-easy solutions. Rah for French cuisine and serving sizes.GregoryOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03384188449358314430noreply@blogger.com
