Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I'm wondering about aspartame. I'm quite fond of the, er, odd G&T, and usually have Schweppes slimline tonic, which has no carbs but does have aspartame. My husband (not diabetic) likes sugar free lemonade from Tesco or Waitrose, which also contains it.
What is the opinion of this august gathering? Is it dangerous/poisonous, as the internet says? Would you have to drink gallons of the stuff to have an adverse effect...?
I don't want to give up my G&T, or indeed brandy & Schweppes slimline dry ginger ale...
