Guest guest Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 I've done some research into this, and have found this Markle is one who is definitely anti-aspartame. She is a crusador against it and will pick at any little thing that is negative about it. You will find people saying similar things with about every processed food we eat. With that knowledge, do with it what you wish! --- Carolyn Kaminski wrote: > someone sent this to me and I thought I would pass > it on > Carolyn > ************************************************ > > Diet Drink Anyone?
