"Aspartame (Nutrasweet) is a sugar substitute that contains phenylalanine. It has no harmful effect on bones." Note that she did not say there is no harmful effect, just no harmful effect ON BONES. Two very different statements. There does seem to be a difference of opinion on aspartame. The current recommendation from the Center for Science in the Public Interest is, "If you consume more than a couple of servings per day, consider cutting back. And, to be on the safe side , don't give aspartame to infants." On the other hand, the National Cancer Institute, the Mayo Clinic, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the National MS Society, and Tufts University all proclaim aspartame safe. As for myself, I have never been one to partake of diet drinks or artificial sweeteners. I think the jury is still out on this one. <!--more--> Karen Is this the statement you are referring to?
