Especially when they give it to the children because "we don't want them to have too much sugar! They'll be bouncin' off the walls!" So give them good ol' fashion water for cryin' out loud

Thanks for the info!! What an eye opener! We use organic cane sugar (it's the tan color)...I know it's not great, but it's a little better than the white sugar (i think). annejk112233(at)yahoo(dot)com

Thanks for sharing! I didn't realize that so many of these symptoms were related to aspartame.

Thank you for hosting, Rachel. Today I linked up a post on natural breast health that I dedicated to my grandmother, who was diagnosed with breast cancer. A little extra TLC can help keep "the girls" in great shape.

This is such an important subject in the field of health! It breaks my heart to see my family still drinking Diet Coke thinking it's the 'healthier' version.

WHEW! Artificial sweeteners give me the freak out after reading The UnHealthy Truth by Robyn O'Brien. I can't believe I used to plug myself full of that mess. BLECH!

Sharing our latest muffin recipe--it's not sugar free, but it is definitely low sugar. We do have a sugar-free recipe coming soon, though. :)

This was a great post, Rachel! Will be sharing this info...

Blessings to you and yours!

Rachel, I am so glad to see a post on the dangers of aspartame. My husband has flare ups of his excema if he has even a little aspartame, we avoid it like the plague.
I have also read in "Why We Get Fat" by Gary Taubes that the use of artificial sweeteners actually triggers the release of insulin just as if we had eaten sugar causing us to gain weight so it doesn't even help with weight loss. I think this is why the labels always say diabetics shouldn't use it without talking to their doctor first because our bodies still react as if we are eating sugar.
We stay away from all artificial sweeteners in our home, and try to educate those we love.
Thank you for a great post.

ps I'd like to link back to this from my blog if it is ok to get the information out there.
