In the Atkins diet, you can use artificial sweeteners, except for Aspartame
(Nutrasweet). I had trouble finding good info on it, but it seems it may
cause insulin production spikes, or somehow interfere with blood sugar
levels.
The reason I had problems working out the truth in this regard (and am still
unsure) is that there seems to be quite a controversy over Aspartame; some
people say it'll kill you (formaldehyde poisoning?), others vehemently deny
that it has any problems.
Anyone got info on this, or able to make some headway through the datastorm?

(btw, for Aussies on the list for whom artifical sweetener type is
important, Aspartame is often listed as Artificial Sweetener 951 on labels)
