Yes, Apspertame is naturally a wood alcohol that when consumed, breaks down in the body as formaldehyde (The stuff used to enbalm dead bodies). Aspertame is know to cause seizures in epileptic patients, diabetic shock in diabetics, inflammatory pain in people with fibromyalgia and arthritis, and is also a big clue in the search for the cause of Gulf War Syndrome. Basically, if it says sugar free or is sweetened with artificial sweeteners, don't even think about it.

Yes. It is one of the main triggers for Multiple Sclerosis. My cousin has MS, and he found after he cut aspartame out of his diet, that he had no more outbreaks.
