What is aspartame, and why should I avoid it?

Aspartame is a common sweetener found in many "diet" foods - but is it really as good for you as you might think? Perhaps not. While aspartame is an FDA-approved ingredient, studies by the American Cancer Society, among other research groups claim that there may be a link between aspartame and other chronic ailments.

Xylitol, on the other hand, provides roughly the same amount of sweetness as table sugar, but has fewer calories and does not spike blood sugar in the same way. Xylitol is also naturally occurrin gin many fruits & vegetables, and has been researched for it's potential dental health benefits.
