The food manufacturers, not life, will kill you
The FDA has approved the use of aspartame as an ingredient in over 9,000 food products, which in and of itself is not news.
What is news, however, is that these 9,000 products do not have to list aspartame as an ingredient in the product. So, you can buy something, after having read the label which gives no indication aspartame is in the product, and you are buying a product with aspartame in it.
Additionally, aspartame is an excellent preservative because when it breaks down, it turns into formaldehyde.
It is not "life" that will kill you. It is the food manufacturers who are adulterating what we eat who are endangering us.
