Everyone's allergic because it's a noxious, toxic substance. But that's just chemistry and not worth getting into... a different thread, perhaps.

"Allergic" as in "causes immediate physical reaction" is quite different from "may cause something with years of exposure", so I wouldn't say "everyone's allergic".

True, and I doubt most people have an immediate immune response as is required in true allergies. But considering how toxic it is and that a single exposure is enough to cause problems or start them off in every person - noticeable or not - it's something to be avoided. I take it you're phenylketonuric??

Anyway, another thread. Wink

Beau, I'm sorry but in this case you're arguing with chemistry. There is no debate to be had - the scientific fact is indisputable.

How am I?

Do a search for what aspartame is made up of, what the body breaks those things down into, and how it utilises them and they affect cell structure etc.
