Several years ago my mom's doc thought her autonomic nervous system was collapsing. Everything was falling apart and going wrong, and her prognosis was looking pretty grim. She had a check-up with her diabetes specialist, who immediately asked her how much diet pop she was drinking and told her to stop it entirely.

Her nervous system recovered.

Aspartame is bad stuff.

I can't stand it, I get a very upset stomach from it. So does my kid. And after her experience with it, believe me we avoid it!
