Neotame is a new artificial sweetener developed by NutraSweet and it is similar to aspartame. Neotame is between 7,000 and 13,000 times sweeter than sugar an believed to be more toxic than Aspartame. Acesulfame potassium is not even close to aspartame! but it is a sweet as Aspartame.

P.S. Aspartame gives me horrible headaches.

Большое спасибо, мой друг.

Are you sure about Acesulfame Potassium being the generic compound of aspartame? According to what I have read they are different compounds.
I don’t use either. I just stick to good ol sugar and eat very little of it and always with protein to slow down the absorption rate.

I just stick with plain old sugar if I need something sweetened. I would rather eat the natural stuff and just watch what I eat that try and trick my body with low-cal or no-cal sweets.

Some studies suggest that those diet products out there may be lower calorie but your body doesn’t know that and treats the artificial sweetener as the real thing and floods your body with insulin. So with no sugar to break down and your body flooded with insulin it doesn’t need, you go into a sugar depression and crave even more sweets than before

Under normal circumstances, Michael, I’d jump on it (although we DO already use local honey–2Tbsp./day to help with pollen allergies).

Remember, though, that you are talking to the woman who, if it were possible, would kill a silk plant.

The plants erected a sign at my house: “Abandon all hope ye who are planted here.”

Have you ever tried stevia? We grew a stevia plant one Summer. As it got cold out, there were these giant vines of stevia coming out of the pot, so I wove them into a wreath and hung it in the kitchen. I keep thinking that I’ll do something cool with the dried leaves one of these days, like make some gourmet chocolates for a diabetic friend or something… I dunno. But, srsly! Aspertame gives me big headaches too! I’d almost prefer the headaches to the projectile vomit that sucralose gives me! Yuck! We use a lot of sugar in the raw, local honey, and agave nectar for sweetening purposes at our house. It just seems like it should be better for us than bleached sugar for some reason.

The new Acesulfame Potassium is ever so slightly chemically different from the aspartame. Very slightly. But it is enough different that they can use less volume. Currently, the FDA considers it a low enough quantity that it does not have to have the PKU warning.
It is still dangerous. I’m not a PKU, but aspartame gives me bad migraine. Like the blackout, near seizure migraine. This is bad, bad stuff. There are many people like me that have weaned off everything that has the possibility of having this crap in it that it could do major damage to. Aspartame never should have been approved by the FDA in the first place. Acesulfame K is the extra concentrated version.
I could rant for pages and give you more information than you ever wanted to know, but you can find it all on Google.
And Snopes, totally wrong in their whole debunking of the supposed “Aspartame Myth.”
