@ Niyah - - - IT IS NOT SUGAR!

 

Aspertame is a man-made labratory concoction developed in 1965 chemists at G.D. Searle & Company ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame) and widely marketed in the US under the brand name NUTRASWEET. 

Not as controversial as saccharin (Sweet-N-Low) but still far and away from being a "healthy alternative" to natural sweeteners such as sugar or honey.

 

Although not nearly as scary as the description in the photo above makes it out to be, I still don't want to ever put something like this into my body.

Ive always preferred real sugar for the taste, but since hearing about this I prefer it for my health too! It is said that your body doesnt know what to do with artificial sweeteners.  While sugar is not great for you, at least your body can process it!

I've heard the same about splenda/sucralose too.
