Hi Chris,  

Aspartame is notorious for triggering rashes, especially urticaria or hives.  And in l996 the National Yogurt Association, Mr. Pape, petitioned the FDA to allow aspartame in yogurt unlabeled which is, of course, against the law.  Since the FDA has refused to answer me we have to consider unless you use organic yogurt aspartame can be in it. 

Incidentally, aspartame is not a diet product but a neurotoxic drug that makes you crave carbohydrates and gain weight.  Read the protest of the National Soft Drink Association which is part of the congressional record.  It's on www.dorway.com   At the bottom you will see Dr. Wurtman's affidavit.  

You will be able to tell if this rash is from aspartame if when you get off of it, it disappears which is usually the case.  I'm going to send you the auto-responder on the class action which gives names  a couple of books.  In the medical text on the global plague of Aspartame Disease it will go into  rashes.  I would get these books and show them to your physician so he can diagnose you understanding the facts of what aspartame triggers.  He needs to also know what drugs interact with aspartame.  The FDA approved it as an additive but its a drug.  This, too, is against the law but the FDA doesn't keep the law or aspartame would never have been approved in the first place.  

I would suggest that you get on the support group which you can click on to from www.dorway.com  I take it you're off the toxin now. 

All my best,
Betty

  Hi Betty,
   This is Chris Christman we spoke on the phone earlier tonight. I just
  wanted to ask you a question. I have a rash on my upper body under my
  breasts I have been to the emergency room and Doctors office they told
  me it was a yeast infection and gave me cream to put on it. Well it has
  been 2 weeks and the rash is still there. I did how ever notice that I
  did not have the rash until I started useing the Equal. Could it be
  possible that the Equal and the slim fast could be giving me the rash?
  And I do eat alot of yogurt is this poision in it to? Waiting to hear
  from you Thanks Chris Christman
