Aspartame triggers migraines for me close to 100% of the time.
I even had to stop chewing gum because ALL gum these days seems to have aspartame and if i chewed a peice on anything but a full stomach I would get a migraine. (I use tic tacs instead)
I know research they have done says it is unlikely but I have noticed a pretty substantial link. And not only does it trigger them, but it makes them worse as well. (So now that I avoid all aspartame I have about 50% less migraines and those that i have are about 30% less severe)..
Not very often in life you get a free ride and I am not sure that these man-made sweetners are all upside with no downside.
