Janet: Thank you for posting the Aspartame/PD study. As you know, this PD sweet tooth thing is relentless -- I've been secretly worried I would end up like one of those poor souls who are ultimately extracted from their bedroom by a team of paramedics with specialized fork lifts and cranes. Now, I will consume NutraSweet with reckless abandon and keep my girlish figure.. Seriously Janet, these research data are very good news for those of us with PD with a family history of diabetes. Now I feel confident I can live to a ripe old age and watch my children grow to become successful parents and grandparents. (wait a minute..... I don't *have* any children. Oh, well.)
