Is aspartime really bad and why?

[chewitt]

What does it do to you? Or is it actually harmeless?

yes, i have been wondering this, because it is in so many things and it says it on packaging like its a BAD thing...

want to know, wnat to know....

not sure but it tastes disgusting.

Apparently it's a sweetener for which safety tests are either ignored or halted

is it linked to cancer?
is that the one banned in the US?

I have gone back to sugar, more natural

I used to avoid it, but have been less careful recently. Bugs me that if there is a problem with it that its still ok to put it in food. Winkywola that list is worrying.
