The dairy and chemical sweetener industries are petitioning the FDA to allow aspartame and other artificial sweeteners into milk. These products will be marketed directly to children. Artificial sweeteners are not healthy for anyone, especially not children. How many parents will buy these products under the mistaken assumption that anything called "milk" is healthy for children?
We hereby call upon the Obama administration to deny the petition that would allow the use of aspartame or any other artificial sweetener in milk. The FDA needs to protect our children and keep milk healthy.
