I believe it was a Dr. Baker(don't quote me) that wrote a book about the sweetener. He specifically said that PWP should stay away from artificial sweeteners, especially Nutri-Sweet because it drove the brain cells into a frenzy and they then killed themselves, like we need that. I read it last year, but my memory fails me as to the name of the book and the right name of the author. Hope this helps. Gerry Haines ([log in to unmask]
