Splenda is also bad, I believe is a chlorine (Makes me puke) Check it on mercola.com, I learned the hard way trying to avoid sugar to help candida die of. Stevia and agave are good as far as I know, anything not natural is likely c.r.a.p.

great post Jeannine!! WE can't express the danger of asparatame and splenda enough, it will damage future generations if left unchecked and in OUR supermarket aisles. I can't stress the fact enough.If people can't stop alot of their bad eating and drinking habits, THIS IS ONE THAT THEY REALLY SHOULD, it does irreparable damage to the brain with prolonged use, pure toxin! Thx Jeannine for posting and spreading the word(saving lives).

This is really unbelievable that things like this are sold to the public each and every day! Thanks for the great post, Jeannine. I'm betting if the people buying this poison ever tasted Stevia or Agave Nectar they would never buy artificial sweeteners again!
