If anyone were to provide convincing evidence that aspartame and/or
sucralose were unhealthy, I wouldn't use them. My objection to
"processed foods" is aesthetic. There's nothing less healthful about
jarred mayo or onion soup mix than using fresh, it's just a matter of
crappiness. As far as the partially hydrogenated oils go, that is
beyond the doubt of almost any halfway knowledgable person.

Artificial sweeteners seem to be a pretty positive thing, health-
wise. I find most grapefruit pretty unappealing w/o sugar or Splenda,
and grapefruit is a good-for-you thing. Tell you what, provide
evidence that any particular sweetener is bad, and I'll embrace that
knowledge.
