>>>Nutrasweet is a commercial name for aspartame, which you can google out for yourself. It creates extra methanol in your blood, while impeding your natural defenses against it.

My sister cannot drink soft drinks that come from a can. She gets some taste that really upsets her.
I've seen her in restaurants where they've served her a glass of coke and she takes a sip, grimaces badly, then calls the waiter over to ask if it came from a can. The answer has been yes the couple of times I've witnessed this.
