Aspartame/Nutrasweet Alert
Found this on another thread here at 3FC. Read it and I am sure you will change you're mind about it. As a nutrasweet nut..I have. No more. I am sticking to Splenda.

I never ate that much nurtrasweet. I do like splenda. And it's made from surgar. I go so far as to check my childrens vits. A lot of them contain sugar subs.
I hope more people read this. I aslo wish that more food people would use this subs. instead of the others. But I do make cool-aid with splenda and it tasts great. And it has no cals., and no weird aftertaste.
Thanks for the info Jen.

This is a hard one for me, because although I agree that aspartame is bad for you, a few of the medications I need that work the best for me have it in them!!!

Aspartame is in many things and sometimes it is added in addition to other sweeteners. I haven't used it for over thirteen years.
I recently discovered Splenda and I do appreciate it very much. Diet cola with Splenda keeps me on track!

Redvelvet: Could you tell me what diet cola uses splenda? I have not been able to find one that uses anything other then nutra sweet.
Thanks

Jenniffer,
Thank you for the information on Nutrasweet. Reading that made me wonder if the achiness and stiffness I have been having for the last few months could be due to the use of the Nutrasweet. I don't use great quantities of it, but use a little everyday over a period of a couple years. I had never been achy like that before ~ just since about February. Anyway, I am stopping with the Nutrasweet and see if that makes any difference. I wonder if that is it, how long it would take to notice a difference and tell whether that is the cause or not.
Again thanks for the info.
Take care ~ glynne

Hi Bella!
I found one called Waist Watchers. It's inexpensive and I just love it! It comes in many flavors but I love the cola and orange.

Redvelvet ~ what store do you find the Waist Watcher colas at?
MysticPoet ~ now that your brother has stopped using the Nutrasweet, has he noticed any difference in his symptoms ~ have they decreased at all? If so, how long did it take for him to notice a difference?
Thank you for your help.

Grocers in the Northeast have it. They have a webpage. Just type in Waist Watchers and it'll pop up.

Redvelvet ~
Help ~ I keep typing in Waist Watchres.com, and keep getting the message ~ can't find web site ~ what am I doing wrong? Was hoping that maybe if i could get to the web site, that maybe they could tell me where I might purchase that around here ~ NC.
Thanks for your help.
