Aspartame, not erythritol. So you'll have brain damage and neurological disorders, but not heart issues.

Idk, but I tend to avoid it if I can because I already eat enough stuff with corn in it. I like corn, but not that much, lol. I'd much rather cane sugar.

I figure I can either eat sugar and it be bad for me and gain weight, or I can eat erythritol and it be bad for me and me lose weight.
