New Mexico's ban on aspartame is still possible in spite of heavy resistance

that some claim is a toxin that poses serious health risks.

• Gerald Ortiz y Pino, D-Albuquerque, is sponsoring a bill that would ban the sale of food products containing aspartame.
• The
  popular sweetener, sold under the brand names of NutraSweet and Equal,
  is found in thousands of products, including diet sodas, but the bill
  calls it a poison.
• The measure cannot be heard in the 30-day
  legislative session beginning Tuesday unless it is put on the
  governor's call, but Ortiz y Pino is hoping for that.
• Under the
  draft bill, no food containing any amount of the sweetener could be
  manufactured, sold or delivered in New Mexico, starting July 1..............
