Are You Sweet Enough?

Yahoo has an article today about the safty of sugar substitutes saying that the big five, sucralose (marketed as Splenda), aspartame, saccarine, acesulfame-k, and neotane are essentially safe even if used daily for a lifetime as per the FDA. Now, correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it just a short time ago that aspartame, and saccarine were under fire? That's why everyone switched to sucralose. Or maybe it was a marketing gimic on the part of Splenda? You know... I'm taking my chances with good old fashioned sugar. It may be fattening, but it's fairly natural.
