Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Gatorade contains the artificial sweetener aspartame, which is a neurotoxin that breaks down into methanol and formadehyde in the body, when ingested. In the long term these substances will help neither your headache nor your thyroid. :-) I don't know Altoids - they are probably not available in the UK, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they also contain aspartame.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Sorry, that should have been formaldehyde, not formadehyde. -----Original Message-----From: betmon Sent: 13 May 2004 09:45To: The_Thyroid_Support_Group Subject: RE: Home Remedies Gatorade contains the artificial sweetener aspartame, which is a neurotoxin that breaks down into methanol and formadehyde in the body, when ingested.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Hi Splenda is the trade name for sucralose, an artificial sweetener that appears to be nearly as dodgy as aspartame. The article at the link below outlines some of the uncertainties around the safety of this substance. http://www.karlloren.com/Diabetes/p40e.htm All the best.
