artificial sweeteners

Cane sugar and honey for me!

I don't give my son aspertame, because of the potential health problems. I don't care what the studies say, I just know that after cutting it out of my diet, my chronic stomach problems almost disapeared, I stopped getting daily headaches, and I lost 5 pounds. I also craved sweets less (which could have been why I lost 5 pounds).

Every once in awhile I have some (my husband buys the wrong yogurt, the only thing to drink at a meeting is diet soda) and within an hour I get a headache and a stomache. While I don't know if it has this impact on everyone, why risk it. I'd rather stick with healthier food, then artificial junk food.
