This past week, someone posted an article about aspartame being the cause of the upsurge of incidents of MS, some types of lupis, fibro myalgia and a host of other ailments. That information was false. It was proved false several years ago. It's an Urban Legend.
The following link will take you to a website called Snopes.com that takes all these urban legends and explains them.

It is bad for you! I use regular sugar just not as much. I also stopped drinking \"crystal light\" keeps giving me bad headaches.. Sugar and butter are not bad in it\'s own..it\'s all about how much you use of it..
