I avoid all artificial sweeteners. I think it's best to avoid eating artificial anything.

I had terrible reactions with aspartame - I didn't know I was allergic to it, and it ended up mimicking symptoms of MS. The doctors I saw in the ER completely freaked me out, but fortunately I had a friend who had gone through something similar with the same diagnosis, and the solution was to eliminate it completely, which cleared up the symptoms.

I avoid it like the plague now

I try to limit it, but I don't use it often. I don't drink sodas that have them and the only time I use artificial sweetener is occasionally in my coffee.

I don't like it. The taste is awful and it gives me headaches.

um no
