We completely agree! Due to the vast body of evidence supporting the safety of aspartame, consumers should have every confidence in enjoying aspartame containing products without fear of adverse health effects. Whether it be included in the diet as part of a weight management regimen or as a means to control blood sugar levels, aspartame is a wonderful and safe option for individuals looking to improve their health without sacrificing taste!
Contrary to what was claimed here, well-conducted scientific research has steadily shown that sugar substitutes do not cause sweet cravings or promote hunger, but in fact results in consumption of fewer calories overall in controlled studies making it beneficial for diabetic and overweight/obese populations.
Full results of such studies can be found here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com...
and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pu...
Despite the misunderstanding surrounding the ingredient, aspartame is among the most studied and reviewed ingredients in the world and has been extensively tested, proven safe, and approved by all major regulatory agencies around the world including the European Food Safety Authority, Health Canada, and the FDA, among others.
We hope this information has been helpful to you and your readers.
