    Right; I see where you're coming from. I'm pretty convinced though that
    _anything_ that causes a glucose 'spike' is bad news, to be honest. The
    'stay low GI and forget about the calories' method has worked really
    well for me.

    Actually I meant to ask about this...I though the FDA had banned
    aspartame in the USA due to finding problems with brain damage in kids?
    Most britons I talk to seem to believe this. Is it not true? Several
    'anti-additive' campaigners are using this as fuel for their argument,
    including 'Earthwatch'.
