We are ready to begin importing HSN to Norway. I've sent you a couple of e-mails, but no response - so I hope you check the forum once in a while.

So becuase you have a reaction to something, it should be banned.?[b said:Quote[/b] (dstan @ Mar. 21 2005,3:44)]Prior to using sucralose, I was using aspartame. This artifical sweetener should be banned in my opinion.

They have warnings on the side of all dairy, all peanuts, all wheat products, corn, soy, etc??? they do not. The only way a person knows whether to avoid a product or not is personal experience.[b said:Quote[/b] (dstan @ Mar. 22 2005,4:10)]Let me elaborate on my point. In the relm of medication, there are warnings. The consumer is given potential side effects, a guideline of what not to consume or to consume with the medication, and the proper dosage.
With food, the consumer is aware of what he/she is eating. All in this board make conscious decisions on what we will consume. We are aware of potential side effects of various foods. We learned these effects through various studies.
yeah right. There is no warnings on the side of any artificial sweetners, and until research actually shows a measureable effect from them, there never will be. It would be like removing peanuts from the food system because some people are allergic and/or have died from them. It doesnt happen.[b said:Quote[/b] ]
With that in mind, you and I can make the decision whether to consume the product or not. We are what I would deem an "informed consumer."

Same warning here on my low cal yogurt in the USA.[b said:Quote[/b] (Jake @ Mar. 22 2005,10:13)]In boldface upper-case type is printed: PHENYLKETONURICS: CONTAINS PHENYLALANINE.
You have my curiosity up- What are the warnings (if any) outside the US?
if you read the context of what is written, it was not in relation to phenylketonuria, but other 'claimed' effects of aspartame. PKU is not specific to aspartame, but any source of phenylalanine in the diet.[b said:Quote[/b] (Jake @ Mar. 23 2005,4:13)]I agree with your sentiments, Aaron, but a quick point to the contrary of the above.[b said:Quote[/b] ]There is no warnings on the side of any artificial sweetners
