Guest guest Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 This is an email hoax, Lynn! Although I don't think consuming aspartame is a good idea, this email is a fabrication: http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/blasp.htm?terms=aspartame Many of versions of this legend are written by or mention " Markle " and even her web site even though there is no evidence that she exists. Please read this to the end-Diet Pop > > > > ******************************************************************** > > > > This is a very long item to =read but it's worth it to read if you are > a > > diet pop drinker!
