Yes, Peter, it's enough to scare you from eating most anything these days. Many years ago when I was diagnosed with reactive hypoglycemia, a reaction of overproduction of insulin by the pancreas, I was put on a low carbohydrate, high protein diet, much like that used by diabetics (who are hyperglycemics with low levels of insulin). I eliminated sugars and starches and started to use saccharin to sweeten my coffee. Saccharin has been used by diabetics for many years without problems, and is considered to be safe, certainly much safer than aspartame. When I taught Nutrition courses and told my students that methanol (wood alcohol) and formaldehyde are metabolic products of aspartame, it was enough to make my students start reading labels and avoid aspartame sweetened drinks and foods.
