Is Aspartame a NO NO?

I did my post-op shopping last night and I got sugar free jello and popsicles and they both have aspartame. Is that bad? Will it cause me to feel bad? Caren

I never had a problem with it, but I don't eat too much of it since I don't like the taste of foods with aspartame in them. YMMV (your milage may vary) Kia 284/209/155 ish

Thanks Kia! Caren

It doesn't bother me either, however I know some people who it gives bad headaches to. I think that is not the norm though. Look how many people drink diet drinks (such as Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, etc) and never have a complaint. I couldn't taste it in the popsicles, or jello. Susan Lap RNY 12-1-04 285-189-155 (-96)
