I know that a lot of people with MS have heard and thought about the damage that aspartame can do to the nervous system. I have heard people say that Aspartame (one use is as a sweetener in drinks) might be OK for most people but not OK if you have MS. Well it appears that it is not OK for the rest of the population too if this article is to be believed.
