Artificial Sweetners a Mystery, better than sugar.

I found an article that concisely highlights the debate over artificail sweetners. Which ones are OK and which are risky to long term health.  The one conclusion is that while all of the research is inconclusive that the artificial swettners are deemed to be "safe" by the FDA and that all scientists agree that they are better than sugar when it comes to leading a healthy life.

Also, Aspartame is two amino acids with a methanol group.  It is not some dangerous "chemical" people make it out to be.  According to my medical nutrition textbook you would have to drink 25 2 liter diet soda's to experience side effects!!!!
