Aspartame is in 6,000 products and is almost unavoidable.
It's in all Diet sodas, powdered drinks, gum, mints, cereals. It's even in Flinstone's Vitamins.
As a parent, I try to give my kids foods that are low sugar. I do this to prevent other diseases
and health conditions--but unfortunately, if it's low sugar or sugar free--it contains aspartame.
My kids love Kashi whole wheat waffles with maple syrup. So we buy sugar-free maple syrup. A
1/4 cup of regular syrup has 40 grams of sugar and 200 calories. The comparable sugar-free maple
syrup has no sugar and 30 calories. However, there is Aspartame.
What is a parent to do?
It's in everything--drinkable yogurt, etc.
