Hey! Matt and I agree on something medically related! Call the newspapers!

Some Doctors and health guides are finally recommending that children (read
non-adults, i.e. under 20) do not consume artificial sweeteners, especially
aspartame, because they interfere with *growth* processes (especially brain
development).

It's amazing the number of food products that get approved without proper
study these days, especially involving children. Just like women and men are
different, *children* are different (physiologically).

And people wonder why "natural" and "organically grown" are so popular these
days...
