"Diabetes Australia has read the medical literature on aspartame and consulted with the head toxicologist at the Australia and New Zealand Food Authority. Overall, there does not appear to be any scientific basis for the claims that aspartame is detrimental to health. Surveys of the Australian population indicate that even the biggest users of the alternative sweetener are well within the limit of what is generally regarded as safe.
Diabetes Australia recommends that if people with diabetes use alternative sweeteners they should use a variety of different types to minimise exposure to any particular chemical."

I refer to my Equal tablets as the cocaine fix I add to my caffeine fix. By now, my body is so riddled with multiple organisms, only a post moterm will provide a truth-in-waiting.
Pink states the diabetic mantra:
"Things that FEEL good, TASTE good, SMELL good, SOUND good, and LOOK good? They are ALL bad for you"
And the longer we live, the more at risk we are!
