whats the deal with Aspartame and Phenylalanine
. why do some products now say aspartame free?

razg

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener produced by binding Aspartic Acid and Phenylalanine - there have been concerns over it's toxicity in recent times. Consequently many people are now moving away from it and advertising their products as Aspartame free.

A small proportion of people cannot process Phenylalanine as well, that is why it's mentioned - it can be dangerous for a small proportion of the population.

Flug, I've been looking into this quite a lot to see why the info is not complete on this products label. As I've looked through everything I have discovered when we last ordered labels the printer has printed the label for the pre updated MR's spec, hence no mention of the barley.

I will be contacting our printer tomorrow regarding this as it is a major screw up on their part but equally so because they labels were cleared for print by someone at our end (me or 1 other only ever do this job). The correct labels have been printed and used previously but it seems this current batch are wrong.

Razg, aspartame was pushed thru congress by **** Cheney even though long term studies were not conclusive on its safety, now it appears he is trying to back track and is trying to get in banned as longer term studies are showing it causes perforations in the brain tissue of lab rats and has been linked to several types of cancer.

Personally I want to remove it fully from our products evemtually for better all round digestion and general health.

I am aware of this, and am not criticizing your decision to stop using it. One thing of note is that these sort of tests are not conclusive in animal studies. It's possible to kill small animals with fairly low quantities of chocolate, however humans are far too large to be affected. Similiarly even water itsself is toxic at too high levels.

While Sucralose is the current fashionable sweetener, animal testing has again shown possible issues, and it may be some time until there is conclusive evidence from any perspective.
