I'm not diabetic but I drink my coffee and tea without any sugar or its substitute. Just one cup a day.
This article, re the aspartame, is nothing new.........I found a lot of info , yet when one tries to contact a company like Centrum........they are impossible to reach........or deny deny deny. Suposedly it's also in Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi.
Just too many people and children out there nowadays with weird symptoms in the neurological category........even those who do not consume soda or diet type foods...........maybe some Gulf War Vets might chime in.....on what they remember from the soda sitting out in the desert for long periods of time that had aspartame in it........
The toxins in aspartame have also been accused of the rash of brain tumors......(besides cell phones)..........we have quite a few in our town in younger folks.
Time to go back to the simpler days of plain foods and beverages.
FOR THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN.........HERE IS THE F.D.A. ON ASPARTAME..............assuming you do not go over the limit per day.
