I have random aches and muscle cramps ( I AM 72) but I just blame everything on cancer treatment and the surgeries afterwards. There's so much we don't know and adding new foodstuffs can definitely be a factor.

There are other new sweeteners...I've been trying allulose, a rare sugar that is in some fruits, and it's pretty good. i see that Swerve, the biggest seller of erythritol, already changd their website to promote the other things they sell.

I remember that in his early books, De. Atkins was pissed that US banned cyclamates based on limited studies that is still considered just fine in Canada. There were few options at the time and anything was better than saccharine!
