A member asked:
Do you know which is worse for you, sugar or aspartame?

Chemistry...: no PROVEN ill effects from aspartame(besides for phenylketonurics, of course) but generally better to stick to things that have been around for thousands of years rather than decades... so strong vote for SUGAR.

Sugar or aspartame: Sugar is worse but more readily available and OK if you don't use too much.
