My suggestion is for you to either stay away from sweeteners altogether or switch to one like Stevia. All natural, not man-made crap.

Alot of artificial sweetners do that, however i too have done my reasearch and not only that, put it into action and lost 115 lbs over all so far.
Ive found aspartame to be very harmful, and Sucralose to be fine, ive been eating sucralose for a while now, and like i said, ive lost 115 lbs, because its a derivative (sp?) of sugar, and therefore natural enough to not cause harm when taken in moderation.
Stevia, is good as well. Ide forgot to mention that so thanks.
