Dear Eileen,

 Thanks for this.  We tell people to avoid like a plague anything that says natural or artificial flavors because this is where they hide aspartame and MSG.  We also ask that all people boycott the companies using Synomyx as listed below.  You can find more information on Synomyx on www.mpwhi.com  Click on aspartame news at the top of the page.  You can go back several years.  Remember Aspartame and MSG have a synergistic and additive effect.  Synomyx is not labeled and comes under artificial flavors.

 Regards,
 Betty
