Don't want to eat deadly Chemicals like Aspartame? Look for things labeled, "Diet" and "Sugar free"... I'm sure there are more. But, the idea is that if it does not use sugar but it's supposed to be sweet... then it's a reason to read the label, for sure. Nutra-sweet and Equal are also aspartame.
While it's actually included in many things, most people just don't pay attention. It's included Breath Mints Carbonated Soft Drinks Cereals Chewing Gum Flavored Syrups for Coffee Flavored Water Products Frozen Ice Frozen Ice Cream Novelties Fruit Spreads Gelatin, Sugar Free Hard Candies Ice cream Toppings Ice Creams No Sugar or Sugar Free Iced Tea, Powder Iced Tea Ready to Drink Instant Cocoa Mix Jams & Jellies Juice Blends Juice Drinks Maple Syrups Meal Replacements Mousse No Sugar Added Pies Non-Carbonated Diet Soft drinks Nutritional Bars Powdered Soft Drinks Protein Nutritional Drinks Pudding Soft Candy Chews Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup Sugar Free Cookies Sugar Free Ketchup Table Top Sweeteners Vegetable Drinks Yogurt drinkable Yogurt Fat Free Yogurt Sugar Free...
And, get this, there are about NINE different major artificial sweeteners and they're used all over the place as well! This is only ONE! And, they're all bad.... You want natural sweeteners, such as Stevia herb and Agave Nectar(personal favorite as it's actually low glycemic though it tastes quite sweet).
Lastly, there are a few things that we can actually look for at the store that give a darn... i.e. Xing Tea sold in the cold drinks section is 100% all natural and actually uses pure cane sugar to sweeten but not too much. It tastes great and has a good variety of flavors!! Yet, MOST of the other teas will sneak in the Aspartame or Sucralose, if not high-fructose corn syrup, somewhere.
