Artificial Sweeteners: No Calories ... Sweet!

Artificial Sweeteners: No Calories ... Sweet!

I am almost diabetic. So I take a lot of artificial sweeteners. In reservists, someone told me that Aspartame is neurotoxic. And there are horror stories found on the internet. I guess that it is scary for me.

Fortunately, organisations like the U.S. Food and Drugs administration has informative web sites. For now, I am continuing to take Equal. But it looks like Splendour, made from a sugar that does not get absorbed, may be a better long term sweetener.
