Aspartame is not an innocent sweetener!

Artificial sweeteners cut calories but may affect glucose control in obese: Study

Abstract

This study examined whether sucrose, fructose, aspartame, and saccharin influences the association between obesity and glucose tolerance in 2856 adults from the NHANES III survey. Aspartame intake significantly influenced the association between body mass index (BMI) and glucose tolerance (interaction: P = 0.004), wherein only those reporting aspartame intake had a steeper positive association between BMI and glucose tolerance than those reporting no aspartame intake. Therefore, consumption of aspartame is associated with greater obesity-related impairments in glucose tolerance.

Conclusion: Aspartame is NOT that innocent as they want us to believe...
and it is very upsetting to have aspartame in so many drinks and medicins...
leaving us with no choice...
