This may have gone around the www several times by now, but my DD always checks these things out on snopes and says this is for real:

Chewing gum for goodness sake. *sigh*
What is our world coming to?

This has been known for around 3 years, but doesn't hurt to remind.

It isn't only chewing gum either, it's in baked goods, candy, vitamins etc.

Good to tell ppl, Dot. Probably not good for ppl either. I just gave up anything with Aspertame as I heard a radio show telling how very toxic it is to the body...so now am off all artificial sweetners. Am just using raw sugar sparingly.
