Aspartame has been linked to increased cases of MS and Lupus plus various and sundry eye and neurological disorders. It has also been shown to create insulin imbalance. Since Aspartame is sweeter tasting, manufacturers have started adding it to foods that already have sugar in them to heighten the sweetness. Asparatame has also been shown to increase sugar cravings (probably due to causing an insulin imbalance). There are currently several cases pending against the manufacturers of Aspartame due to the medical disorders it is causing.
