Read this today. Definitely set some alarm bells off in my head. Looks like I'm going to really have to consider quitting the sweet stuff ASAP!

"Seven volunteers who did not use artificial sweeteners were then recruited, and asked to consume the equivalent of 10-12 single-dose packets of artificial sweeteners daily for one week."

The dose makes the poison. I have one or two packets a day. I'm not worried about it.

If I only had a couple of packets a day I'd not worry either, but I think I need to find an over sweetner addict meeting somewhere soon to help me through the withdrawal!!!

I have used two Saccarine sweeteners in my many cups of tea a day for over 30 years. If they gave me diabetes, it took 30 years to do it.
