Some time ago *someone* on the list asked me to post a report about what--if anything--changes when Peter and I stopped using aspartame (Equal) as a sugar substitute. It has nowbeen several months, and the only thing I can report is something that I'm not sure is related, except that it coincided with going back on sugar for both of us: Peter had had almost continuous swelling of feet and ankles, which is not uncommon and which had now disappeared completely. I had developed a swelling of my left foot only, which the doc said was probably from arthritis, and that too has gone for good. Was the swelling due to Equal, of which we used a lot? Who knows??? In any case, that's the "update" FWIW,for whoever it was who asked and whoever is interested. (P.S. I'm frustrated because I HAD a signature which worked twice and which I can't get to work again!)
