Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 This link is an old favorite of mine. Whenever you have a question regarding an " urban Legend, this is the place to go. This particular article is perhaps what started the scare about aspartame. Anything done in excess is dangerous, and I believe that includes internet gossip. Anytime there is " anecdotal " information, or in other words, " I heard that this is happening " I get suspicious. I sure hope this helps http://www.snopes.com/toxins/aspartame.asp Re: Re: Pat/Question of the day 7/2 (aspartame) I know of one class action suit being prepared - it's a pretty large one - several folks who feel aspartame has caused physical problems in them are part of the class.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 We had a huge blown out drag out fight over this claim on another board a few years back. That board we had to post a rule of no urban legends or anything like this that could be " controversial " . The main issue, was that folks were telling this lady that it was all in her head and that got her really upset and just turned into a huge mess. I agree, some folks do have a severe reaction to it, but the majority of folks are fine with it. Anyone can have a food allergy, but that does not mean EVERYONE has that food allergy. That seems to be something some people don't understand. Nectarines cause my lips to itch, but that doesn't mean someone else can't enjoy a nectarine without itchy lips. You simply have to be aware of your body's reaction to things and police yourself, not others. Most of the problems people have with sensitivity to aspartame is probably due to food allergies.
