I wanted to talk about artificial sweeteners today because I've noticed that there's a lot of confusion and misconceptions revolving around these non-caloric sweeteners. Artificial sweeteners and the huge list of products sweetened with them are marketed to you relentlessly as “healthy foods” or “healthier” than sugar or corn syrup sweetened products. But are they really healthy or do they cause all sorts of health problems…

Of course you wouldn’t!

Yet there are hundreds of pages on dozens of sites on the internet that suggest that’s exactly what you’re doing when you use artificial sweeteners. Specifically, they say that aspartame metabolizes into formaldehyde.

So, we ask the question, “Is it true?” Are we poisoning ourselves by enjoying diet soda or any other products on the market containing aspartame?
