Thanks Nigel, The article on both Methanol and Aspartame is very interesting from two perspectives. 1. My father owned his own business delivery freight and fuel for nearly 10 years. The effect of Methanol and its potential presence in petroleum and other fuels may be a key factor to him contracting PD 2. The presence of Aspartame in everyday food products in our countries is very concerning, especially as we progress in years and look for ways to maintain an acceptable body weight. Thanks again for your contribution and answers to my emails.

In which case my answer is I am pretty sure that it is the same product, just a question of grade.
