The Road
is a Hungry Place (Food for
Thought)
It’ s easy to
maintain your eating habits when
you’re at home in your comfort

your zip code the chances of
straying from your meal plan are

Equal and NutraSweet, has been around
since it was discovered in 1965 by
chemist James M. Schlatter, an employee
of G.D Searle & Company. Schlatter was
actually working on an anti-ulcer drug

Aspartame is currently found in over
6,000 products worldwide; soft drinks,
instant breakfasts, breath mints,
cereals, sugar-free chewing gum, cocoa
mixes, frozen desserts, gelatin
desserts, juices, laxatives, chewable
vitamins supplements, milk drinks,
pharmaceutical drugs and supplements,
shake mixes, tabletop sweeteners, teas,
instant coffees, topping mixes, wine
coolers and yogurt.
