A few years back I developed neorological problems (I actually woke up partially blind) and had symptoms of a mini-stroke, these problems were caused from aspartame and Splenda.

Xylitol

From research I have read and dental presentations I have gone to, xylitol will literally prevent dental decay. Carefree gum has xylitol as do some other mints. I know once I picked up a container of candies and the sweetener was xylitol. This was at Borders.

I do chew gum with xylitol just to try and not eat
a lot of suger, but I also found NuStevia at the health
food store in packets, made without the bitter taste.
I used it and its good. I have used a ton of splenda
to keep blood suger low, no more. Thanks Brenda
for the heads up.
