Fun little useless fact.....(or maybe not so useless)

Lately, I've been having these strange headache type pains, but it wasn't really a headache.  It was a continuous dull pain that just baffled me.  I started looking at my diet to see if anything I was eating could be causing the problem.  Then one day, I looked at the ingredients of the gum I chew religiously......


Guess what this gum has in it?.........Aspartame

Now, admittedly, I don't know all the facts about Aspartame, just that it is a sweetener that is about 40 times sweeter than normal table sugar, but I stopped chewing this gum and I no longer have that dull pain in my head.

I will have to do more research on this sweetener, but I thought I'd share with you.....
