Q

Would appreciate info on research in Canada on aspartame..Nutrasweet etc...believe it can cause seizures..am concerned at its increasing usage in US and also that people may not even know it is in some products.

A

sorry, no solid information - off the top of my head I'd say that aspartame and saccharin are two of the most researched (for side-effects) food additives around - saccharin lost out because some rats inflicted with huge amounts developed certain tomours - aspartame seems to have a clean bill of health.
