Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dipsy" data-source="post: 4773" data-attributes="member: 1083">I think it is very helpful for Claire to have posted about this, in the same way that John posted the cure. There is a lot on the internet about aspartame, both for and against. We can read for ourselves and make an informed decision. I would prefer to eat natural foods. I've known a number of people who react badly to aspartame, and chose a few years ago to avoid it and other artificial sweetners, for myself and my family, and especially during pregnancy. We have orangina or 7-up for birthdays as a treat, and drink water, fruit juice, hot chocolate, redbush tea or naturally decaffeinated coffee day to day. We make cakes and biscuits and eat good quality chocolate for treats, so simply avoid the need for shop bought products with the many artificial additives.I'm only diabetic during pregnancy, which is a whole lot easier than having it full time or having a child with diabetes. Perhaps then you need to chose the lesser of two evils. It is good to do some reading and thinking on this subject though, and not just attack Claire for daring to suggest there might be a potential problem with aspartame.</blockquote>
