take a look sometime. almost all toothpaste contains saccharin, aspartame, or both.
i always read ingredient labels these days. you'd be amazed how many things aspartame shows up in, even things that aren't labeled 'sugar-free'. while i do go on the occasional junk food spree, in general these days i try to stick to the food-only diet.
I (heart) the food-only diet. But at this point, sugar is just about as bad for me as most chemicals are. And I can't survive PMS without my chocolate! Or at least, no one else would. Survive, that is.
Sigh. On the topic of chemicals, I made a joke at lunch yesterday about stuff being made in "vats in New Jersey" ... no one got it. I miss the right coast.
*plots to go check the ingredients on stuartc's toothpaste tonight*
