Are artificial sweetners poisonous?!
I ask this as I pour some into my morning coffee.
Answers: I heard someone say they would use one of the brands to ants.

I personally think yes. I once read an article about how nutra-sweet was designed as a drug and they could not get it approved but as an additive it was approved. I have to say that once I stopped drinking diet pop my health improved and I lost weight. I started using real cane juice sugar and have fallen in love. It is a great flavor. Natural is always better.

Aspartame is used as a sweetener in most of them and it is used as ant poison but only in large amounts. Scientists have tracked it through our blood system and they lose track of it when it reaches our brain. That can't be good. I think it is bad for you but I still chew gum sweetened with aspartame.
I've been using them for the past 15yrs & haven't come to any harm so i'd say no they're not poisonous.
Sweetners are fine, anything that has been said relating to cancer etc is unfounded, not one reported case relating to it.
As for using it on ants, complete myth. See the link below
Anyone who says they knew someone who died from Cancer related to Artifical sweetner is scare mongering. There is NO medical proof of such.
You would maybe feel ill if you ate a couple of packs in one go & it would taste fairly bitter but it WILL NOT give you cancer...period!!!!
Artificial sweeteners are perfectly safe but those with high blood pressure should avoid the ones with aspartame (NutraSweet, Equal).
Salt kills snails. Does that make salt poisonous for humans? I think we have to keep things in perspective and realize that humans are taking in very small doses when compared to giving it to ants or rats.
I don't think so. It's up to your parents. But I do know that aspartame is very poisonous. My mom had a sister who loved aspartame and she then died of a serious cancer. So stay way from aspartame.
They are not poisonous.
But like any foo items you need to be very care full.
Storing them per instructions on the package Will help. Note the color of the fresh (when you first open the package) if the color changes then discard it safely, do not use it. Drinks with such sweetener must be kept below recommended temperature at all time, but you have to re lie on the shipper's integrity, equipment can fail without any notice and some shipment can become poisonous, without any ones' knowledge.
