Aspartame Kills!

Recently my Mom gave me an article to read on an ingredient (ASPARTAME--alias:NUTRASWEET) that is prevalent in diet soda, she gave me this knowing I consume (or DID consume) between 3-6 cans of Diet Pepsi A DAY!

Hi Stace-
This is so interesting- good timing too- I had a bad Diet Coke habit! I was basically drinking it all day long, it was just my beverage of choice. About 3 weeks ago, I stepped back and thought, "I really should be drinking water, not all of this chemical filled crap." So...I have been doing the water or tea "thing" and have completely lost my taste for Coke. Thanks for the reinforcing information here. Now I just need to cut out the nutrasweet in my morning coffee!
take care- Jeanette
