Aspartame

My husband and mom have been trying to warn me about the chemical aspartame since they knew I drink diet soda and I buy gum for the kids regularly.  I will admit I haven't been listening to them until I did some of my own research.  I'm convinced to cut it out.  Tonight we talked to the kids about cutting soda out all together.  We never buy it, and the only time we have it is when we go out.  So, as a start today we made a commitment to stick with water or juice while out, and I threw out two boxes of sugar substitute packets!!  We're on our way to a great start!
