Asparatame is hurting now with Splenda on the rise!

Do a search on both aspartame and Splenda and see just how poisonous that stuff is.

Stevia is for sale in Canada, and as well as being sweet it can reduce the progression of diabetes.

Check your local whole foods places and spice stores.

No need to start trusting the government now! hehe
