Can Aspartame (Sugar Free Gold) affect vision?
No. Although scientists know that huge amounts of methanol can affect vision, only small amounts of methanol are formed when Aspartame (Sugar Free Gold) and many fruits, vegetables and juices are digested. In fact, a glass of tomato juice provides about six times as much methanol as an equal amount of a beverage sweetened with Aspartame (Sugar Free Gold). During the digestion of Aspartame (Sugar Free Gold) in the gastrointestinal tract, the released methanol is then easily further metabolized by normal body processes in the same way as when methanol is derived from other dietary sources. Numerous scientific studies have shown that the methanol from Aspartame (Sugar Free Gold) does not accumulate in the body and thus cannot reach harmful levels.
