My in-laws came over to visit last weekend and they brought with them an article that they had printed out from an email that a friend had sent them. The article said that aspartame in soft drinks was linked to an increase in Multiple Sclerosis. According to the article, it was claiming that when aspartame is heated abouve ninety degrees that it turns ino formaldehyde, and consumption of that can cause Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms.
To be perfectly honest, I was very surprised about that, so I got online to see what I could find out about that claim. According to snopes, it is not true, it is a rumor that has been circulating for a long time now. I guess the enemies of the aspartame industry are responsible for that! But while looking it up, I did find an interesting website that dealt with different aspects of Multiple Sclerosis. It had current Multiple Sclerosis News and tips on Multiple Sclerosis Exercise and diet. I don’t know anyone personally who has Multiple Sclerosis, but I’m hopeful that more medical advances can be made to treat and cure this terrible disease. No one should have to suffer like that.
