But it's a choice based on a healthy skepticism of everything that appears on the Internet. I believe the Aspartame site linked is in the category of an Internet hoax/conspiracy theory. Generally speaking, if something doesn't have solid references backing it up, I start looking to see if it's actually valid.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame_controversy" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame_controversy</a><a href="http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/aspartame.asp" target="_blank">http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/aspartame.asp</a>Of course if you are actually intolerant of aspartame (as the OP appears to be), or a phenylketonuric it's definitely bad. The only suggestion I would have in that case would be to try something like San Pelegrino (fizzy water) and add a squeeze of lemon juice to it over ice. I've found this to be highly refreshing. The amount of fructose in a squeeze of lemon is pretty small.</blockquote>
