Just thought you would like to know one child went blind in one eye and 
they took Flintstone vitamins back to the store because they found out it 
had aspartame in it.  Since the wood alcohol in aspartame does cause 
blindness and cases are really piling up and the child was taking only 
vitamins with aspartame pretty sure that was it.

We're trying to get health food stores to ban products with NutraSweet 
and I've already written to the NNFA - National Nutrition Food Alliance.

Regards,
Betty

P.S.  They are now putting them in other products like Fresca and 
Wintergum gum - you have to really watch out.  They know it never was a 
diet food anyway, and now they putting it in all kinds of products - they 
know also it is addicting.
