Hello! Does anybody else develop negative side affects from artificial sweetners? I've been getting headaches after drinking beverages that contain them. Maybe one type/brand is better than the other? Are there any that are more natural than others? Any suggestions? Thanks! :)

    All artificial sweeteners are incredibly toxic. NutraSweet (aspartame) is made using a chemical that is on the EPA's list of the top 15 most toxic chemicals.

    You're better off avoiding both artificial sweeteners and refined sugar. Neither are beneficial to your health.

    Yep--- I get almost instant headaches from artificially sweetened drinks. I've also broken out in hives from artificial sweeteners as well. I steer clear of them now.

    Thanks everyone. I think I'm going to eliminate them entirely.

    I have all sorts of problems with them. I've switched to using Stevia to sweeten things.
