Aspartame addiction
RNY on 05/06/13
Aspartame is Equal, Splenda is Sucrolose so they are not the same. Aspartame is a known cancer causing agent. You could be addicted to it, it's like the people who always have to have Dt Coke or Pepsi. If you want to get away from it, it sounds like you will have to detox like a lot of us had to do with sugar :( Splenda or Truvia would be a better choice.
A great sugar substitute would be Truvia or Stevia-they are natural. All the other ones have side effects you may not feel, but these are long term side effects, and if you do the research you`ll freak out. Very scary stuff. Good luck!!
PS. I use Truvia in my coffee or tea and even make homemade lemonade with it. Delicious!
