Whatever you think of Beck, this article about aspartame and its possible affect on him is interesting...I was particularly incredulous to read that aspartame is responsible for over 75% of adverse events relating to food additives to the FDA, that is huge. Just another reason to avoid the stuff at all costs, if you aren't already. Here's the link:

Note that aspartame is being put into things that also have sugar! Just yesterday I bought my kids some gum that had, as the second ingredient corn syrup, so I assumed (yep, you got it...) that it was safe, but alas, no. Aspartame was listed right below where I had stopped reading. There is now not a single gum that does not have aspartame in it, unless we buy it at Whole Foods, where it is quite pricey, and there's no bubble gum flavor available!
