04/29/2006: “Still using Aspartame and Splenda?”

I’ve never been a fan of artificial sweeteners. I don’t think there’s enough testing/evidence to guarantee safety. The FDA does not have a good track record and the conflict of interest runs rampant with Monsanto’s head honchos going back/forth between the company and FDA positions.

Here are some links to read up on Aspartame and Splenda (the newest artificial sweetener). I keep hearing smart people saying, “but splenda is made from sugar”. When is a company’s marketing gimmick fact?
