Next time yer' reachin' for the sweet stuff...

There I was, pouring my second coffee. I've often opted for the "fake sugars", because they're much sweeter. You can use just one or two, instead of three or four regular sugar packs. The more sugar packs I use, the more damage I'm causing to me teeth, right? Although your teeth can't get cancer!

I never read these things before, but I flipped it over and I was shocked to see the following line: "Take only on the advice of a physician".

Huh? What? What the hell's that about? I checked out their site and it says it under each of their products! Yet the site has loads of freakin' recipes! http://www.sugartwin.com/pi_ing.cfm

According to Health Canada's site:
9.2.4 Cyclamate and Saccharin Sweeteners [Division 1, Part E, FDR]
Saccharin or cyclamates are not permitted in foods and are considered adulterants when added to a food [B.01.046, E.01.001].

Aspartane is REALLY bad for you too. I think it's going to be straight sugar for me from now on.
I'm hunting around the web for more details, but in the mean time, I'd stay the hell off the stuff!

There's a great article on alive.com, but I'm having trouble with the link. Click "Health Defined" and use the search engine on the right. Search for: Sweet, white, and deadly. It's worth the read.
