It makes me very sick, I have to avoid it .It's used in a lot of foodstuffs where perhaps you wouldn't expect it so it took me quite a while to work out what was causing the problem .

The are no absolute safety associated with artificial sweeteners. People with IBS should avoid this one. For normal people, it can cause gas, diarrhea and bloating depending on quantity consumed. Safety during pregnancy or for children is not known at present. Possibly harmful with certain cardiac conditions. High doses associated with tumors.

It is toxic to dogs, even in tiny amounts. It is used in some peanut butters so check yours before giving your dog a treat that will kill them. Jif and Skippy are safe.
