It is true, apparently, that they use sweetener as well as sugar, and I read that the reason is that it is cheaper for them to sweeten the drinks with the chemicals than with the real sugar. They don't necessarily identify the fact that sugar is not the only sweetener, either, at least not where I live. Probably if it is below a certain quantity they don't need to report it, and let's face it, very little chemical is needed to sweeten it. There is a pretty horrific list of tales people tell of their symptoms when using Splenda, for instance, which I looked up after the aspartame articles.

A dear friend of mine has been telling me about her new illnesses, diabetes and high blood pressure and a few other things. Then I noticed a packet of Splenda on her coffee table. And she was also swigging some sort of Cola drink during our hot weather. I forwarded your emails to her, Lois and Annie, with a whole swag of the Splenda complaints, too. Up to her now, poor darling - she has enough to put up with having no disks between her vertebrae any more, and has to spend a lot of time lying down. I hope she gets the message the Splenda users are passing on.

Thanks for this Lois, I think all products containing artificial sweeteners should be avoided, but they even put it in when there is *sugar* in it as well! Unbelievable! dee On 18 Feb 2010, at 21:51, zzekel...@aol.com <mailto:zzekel...@aol.com> wrote:

But not to worry Ajinomoto the company that makes Aspartame has changed the name to AminoSweet. It has the same toxic ingredients but a nice new sounding name.
