I am sure this is a tpic that has been discussed here before my time on the site.
However, I must say the article I read frightened the life out of me.
On checking all my sugar free foods, the one that I am most alarmed about is yogurt.
The drinks that arrived from the U.S. the otherday also have high levels as dpes the sugar free bread I bought.
The list is endless......diet drinks, sweeteners etc.
This is one article I read.
www.sweetpoison.com/aspartame-side-effects
I then also found this
Like many food additives, the safety assessment for aspartame has led to the setting of an Acceptable Daily Intake, or ADI. This is an estimate of the amount of an additive that could be routinely consumed every day over a lifetime with no appreciable health risk. In the case of aspartame, the ADI is set at 40 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. This is equivalent to 2800 milligrams for an average British adult. For an average 3-year-old child the amount is of the order of 600 milligrams
and that can be found on

Now I am confused.......
