It appears as if Melody is onto something: aspartame is dangerous… and it’s in every pack of gum in my house! I, honest to goodness, wondered why sometimes I felt weird when I chewed a lot of gum (Orbit is my weapon of choice) in a day. I don’t think I can quit all together but I’ll certainly ween myself off it (I chew half pieces anyway).
Devin,
I’m pretty sure that aspartame stuff is crap.

Thanks for looking into that Darryl… I’m always the first to fall prey to these fun rumors. ;-)
No problem :)
