Is aspartame the "sweet pain" of RA? (poll 8773872)

Is aspartame the "sweet pain" of RA?

I got rid of aspartame and no more RA for me!

No more aspartame for me. My RA's still active, but eliminating aspartame decreases the pain.

I tried the aspartame-free life, but it only helped a little.

Tried avoiding aspartame, but there was no benefit at all for my RA.

I don't consume aspartame for other reasons...

Hmm, never heard about this before. It's may be worth a try!

What!?! Give up my diet soda! Never!

i have tried to avoid aspartame for years, even prior to my RA diagnosis. I feel very strongly that the onslaught of chemicals and preservatives in our food has increased the occupancy of illness in our society.
