Default Aspartame - E951

someone sent me an email about this the other day, saying how bad it was - searched on the internet and it would appear that the email is correct but then also found a site saying these emails are scare mongering !!

anyone had any experience of it ?

It was linked with brain tumours and Lymphoma a while back I think.


I will try and find a link.

I'd be surprised if anyone hadn't had experience of it - it's an artificial sweetner used in probably thousands of products - for about 15 - 20 years I have used Canderel (easy to keep in my desk drawer at work) which is Aspartame based AFAIK.

Pretty sure lots of lo-cal pops use it too - the whole world is going to die of something maybe in a few cases it'll be this??

I've had thousands of sharp rises in the 20 last years - maybe it's got viagraesque side effects also - I'd never linked the two before now - Canderel is about a fiver for 300 tabs - knock em out on e-bay at a fiver a pop!!! Nice earner! I might call them "Cockerel" geddit!!!

I am a comedy genius, I thank you!!

He's a mod, that goes without saying. Fights off RSI.
