Hello Dudley, JJ and Everyone,

I saw the "spoof" about the ant poison thing. But I believe that Aspartame is
just poison for people, anyway. The really scary thing is that most of the
"scientific" studies done on all of these poisons are paid for by the people who
produce and or promote them.

I recently became aware how another additive, monosodium glutamate, is in so
many things, especially soups and soup stocks or boullions. Having canned soup
and boullion is so handy as a base for cooking meals, but it took me a long
time to find anything in the grocery stores without it. Finally I found this
brand - Kitchen Basics. They sell beef, chicken, fish and veggie stock. No MSG
or any other additives.

I'll take sugar and salt over that other stuff any day!

: ) Christine
