Is this true or some myth?

I apologize for my rudeness in misinterpreting your post.
I was reacting to a history of problems which were no fault
of yours.

However, the post that you forwarded is an example of the
overblown rhethoric often promulgated by the anti-aspartame
people.  I wrongly responded to that, rather than to your
inquiry.

Although the tone of my response was inappropriate, at least
I did try to include some factual information on the situation --
yes aspartame does "contain" methanol, but not very much.
