My husband has an allergy to fake sugars – it gives him a massive headache and turns his stomach sour. I, on the other hand, just don’t like the taste of fake sugars. If I had to choose between no sugar at all and fake sugar, I’d pick NONE.
Now a powerful dairy lobby is pushing the FDA to approve the artificial sweetener aspartame for use in dairy products. The goal is to turn the wholesome drink into another artificial flavor-laden sweet snack.
I can’t even being to tell you how angry this makes me. I don’t understand the need to change things that work the way they are. Milk is good for you (unless you have a dairy allergy) – why do people think it’s a good idea to add aspartame to it?!
Please sign the petition! This is NOT okay. Let’s make sure the FDA knows how we feel.

I heard about this recently while listening to a podcast. Arrggghhhh…..when is it going to end? GMOs, food colorings, etc etc
And I am with you on the sugar thing. I don’t think anyone could have had a bigger sweet tooth than I did.
I used to hear the “quit and you won’t miss it talk, but never believed it. Then 12 years ago, I found out it’s true! I don’t add any sweeteners, real or artificial to anything I eat!
Even unsweetened baking chocolate tastes good now. lol Yeah, I am weird, and I apologize for rambling!
Milk doesn’t need sugar or fake sugar added to it!
This is horrible on so many levels. I’ve signed the petition and pray this does happen to our milk!
Every time I see a post or pin about aspartame in milk I think how can this possible go through. People like my sister in law are allergic to aspartame, forget those of us who just don’t want it in our milk, she could have a serious reaction. You feel like you are eating real food with milk but maybe it isn’t.
Agreed! There are just too many negatives to having aspartame in milk (or anything else, really).
Really? This also makes me angry. I hope this would never pass
Wow! That is outrageous. Why would they add aspartame in it? For ‘diet’ milk – crazy
