I have no chance to read the link this am., but have read on it previously. Can only say i, or we here at least, would not need it since we have some real sugars and sweeteners, so why risk? And blain, ur ma must be a special case, and if it hasnt affected her as u said, it may be she is really that different... but more susceptible or weaker persons (wc we most of us become more and more as we age and are exposed to home, office, environmental pollution) easily react and develop other symptoms or illnesses related. I really hope ur mom doesnt get, or have other ailments, symptoms of which appear only much later, as a pastor's wife once told us.
