I love drinking Crystal Light, which I know contains Aspartame, and I have been told and I have read that Aspartame stores fat. Does anyone know if this is really true?

    Search the posts here for "splenda" or "equal" or aspartame and you'll get your answers. It's been hotly debated many times.

    I forget which is which but aspartame and sachrin (the two most popular sweetners) are baaadddd. I think it's sachrin (an ingredient in rat poisoning) that causes cancer and aspartame which causes brain tumors. You can google them and find out much worse things than fat storage. Splenda's your best option or just no sweetner as all. Club soda with real fruit squeezed in is great and of course like a Sprite but with whatever flavors you want.
