Very interesting. Just for kicks, I Googled "pilots are not allowed to drink aspartame", and it came back with "About 307,000 results" shocked

But that doesn't make it true... Years ago, I was interested in microwave use to heat milk for a baby. Google came back with similar numbers where websites claimed it would harm the milk. But the baby doctor said it was ok, so I did, and baby grew up. grin
