Barbara,
I'm sorry for not getting back to you, I haven't been on line since a couple
days before Christmas. Boy now you want me to pick my brain huh, ROFL! I can
tell you this, I do save many Reader's Digest articles as i have subscribed
for aboout 16 years now. I will look and see if it is in there. Also will go
to their site on line and see if I can find it there. If not, I will call the
Epilepsy Association and have them send me info on it. I might even have a
brochure from them on it too. Give me some time and I will get back to you on
this okay!

Barbara and everyone,
I take in a lot of Nutrasweet; softdrinks, tea, coffee, etc.. I had never
used it until I went on a diet and lost about 40 pounds several years ago. I
don't really want to go back to high calorie drinks, but I'm sure I wouldn't
feel that way if there was any conclusive evidence of harm caused by it. I'd
like to see more information about this if possible. Nothing like a glass of
ice-cold neuro-toxin!
If anybody comes across any further information on this, I'd be interested.
