Greetings folks. Hopefully by the time you read this article I'll
be a dad for the first time. Our due date was yesterday (July 9)
and the doctor said there was a fifty-fifty chance of delivery
this week! Aside from that there is a question I wish to ask
that concerns nutrasweet and pregnant women. I was told that a physician
at Emory has stated that nutrasweet may be harmfull to the unborn
baby. My question is twofold: 1. Why wasn't this studied earlier?
i.e. Before it's release to the general public. and 2. Are any of
you out there in net.land familiar with this statement?

My concerns stem from the fact that my wife drank quite a few
softdrinks containing nutrasweet unknowing of any problems. I am
a little perturbed about this but also my concerns may be unfounded.

thanks for the time.
