    Where did you get the letter?  If it doesn't have some scientific
references, don't bother posting it.  While there is anecdotal evidence
that SOME people are sensitive to nutrasweet, there is simply NO evidence
that it is harmful to any large segments of the population.
   Saccharin has been linked to brain tumors in children of women 
who ingest it during pregnancy.  There is NO SUCH LINK for nutrasweet.
There is also NO evidence that it harms any other groups of people.
Betcha can't guess who has paid for most of the "research" which "proves"
that such substances as saccharin and nutrasweet are harmful?
