Interesting:  Aspartame marketed as NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc.
is a drug masquerading as an additive.  It changes brain chemistry and
changes the dopamine level of the brain.  

In Dr. Roberts book "Breast Implants or Aspartame Disease?" ( 1 800 -
814-9800) there is a whole chapter on how addictive aspartame is.  Of
course, we have two support groups on the Internet for the victims of
Aspartame Disease (now a world epidemic) and they go through terrible
withdrawal symptoms.  

Dr. Roberts declared Aspartame Disease to be a world epidemic and is
in the process of publising a medical text on the world plague.  In
the meantime, for years case histories have been sent to Dr. Michael
Friedman at the FDA.  Last month Monsanto hired hm, and now they have
putthe Nutratanic up for sale.  August 28 is Aspartame Awareness Day.
See www.dorway.com for more information.
