I am sure that there are a million articles out there about the
research both pro and con but I am wondering about some of the asd
thoughts on this. Good or bad and which ones are better?
When I was younger one of my Aunt's had some problems with sight loss
in her children (nutrasweet in popsicles I think) and it went around
the family that we were genetically sensitive to aspartame- so that put
a few of us off diet everything. But at the same time my father and
others who are diabetic suck down artificial sweetners galore.
Using artificial sweetners seem what all dieters are doing and I am
wondering if it would make my life easier?? Sometimes I feel like I
must be the only one not tossing back diet drinks and eating sugar free
ice cream.
thoughts anyone??

You're correct in stating there are millions of articles about the
artificial sweeteners. You'll find research for both the safety and
risks of every sweetener. Here's an old article with a summary of some
of the more popular sweeteners. Unfortunately it doesn't have any
links to the research but does mention organizations that performed
some of the research so maybe you can search the individual sites for
more information.

A lot of the research with negative comments on a sweetener often used
an intake level higher than most of us would ever ingest. As with most
things, moderation is the key. That said, we use Splenda at home. I
like the taste and use it for cooking and baking instead of regular
sugar.

As far as I'm concerned they're all bad - they're a migraine trigger for
me, and I won't touch them.
