I am trying to go fructose free (so no sugar for me) and I think Xylitol might be out, I will have to go check with sweet poison book.

I don't like aspartame (I mean taste wise I don't notice it, but I only have Hermasetas gold, if I have the regular one I do notice it), but theoretically I don't think it is good and there is more research coming out to link it to neurological conditions - like early onset parkinsons... part of me is curious if there is a link between mothers consumption in pregnancy and ASD in children?

So I've been waiting for it to be kosher for a while so I can get off it. I think at this stage only the naturally sweet Stevia not the slightly modified Stevia is kosher, but hopefully that will change in the future. Going to stop in at the health food store on the way to pick up today
