Aspertane VS. Metabolism

I am hearing that aspertane slows down our metabolism. Is this true? SO, what this means is that sugar free gum, sugar free yogurt, my occasional diet coke, sugar free pudding......all are slowing down my metabolism. Is this why we are stuck? It could be why I am stuck, I chew sugarless gum all the time. WM

Wendy, I would bring this up with your NUT. I chew sugarless gum all the time and I'm not stuck. I do use more Splenda instead of aspertane though. Carly

It's an artifically created chemical substance that I personally choose to stay away from. Splenda or Stevia are better, natural options.
