A long communication from Barb about the dangers of Aspartame was just sent to me through the Chase list. I'd like to caution people not to spread it around without finding out who the authority, if any, was who wrote it. Without a signature, it becomes gossip, which, when spread by e-mail, can cause harm to those who should be working with doctors and reputable researchers. I'm sure it was meant well, but it is not scientific data. Sincerely, Ellie Pelcyger

Please see: <A HREF="http://www.snopes.com/toxins/aspartam.htm">Urban Legends Reference Pages: Toxin du jour (Kiss My Aspartame)</A> Dear follow researchers, This is a Chase list and I understand the need to post rebuttals to the article. I did a google search and the results are at: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=Aspartame Many sites for and against. As genealogist we do a lot of research. Whenever something is e-mailed to me I research it to see if this is a hoax or true. We have found a lot of bad information on the net as we found good. So please check this out and come to your own conclusion and if you would to try for yourself if this statement is true there would be no harm to stop drinking diet soda. Just my humble suggestion Rochelle Jacobs
