Which sugars were you thinking of avoiding. If only sucrose, there isn't much point.
Carbs?
Starches, carageenans, polyols and other carbohydrates are the slow burners. They are invaluable for diabetics because of their slow, constant release rate. Without carbohydrates and sugars, I wouldn't die of diabetes complications, I'd die of starvation, or would end up being forced to overeat to deal with the hypoglycemia caused by lack of available blood glucose. That would trigger hyperglycemia.
Current medical advice is: carbs are good for diabetics. Quick burn sugars are bad. Fats are especially bad, since high cholesterol is a very common side effect of diabetes.
When methanol is metabolized, the first step is methanol to formaldehyde, and that is the end of the line.
Not true, formaldehyde is metabolised very quickly by the body, into formic acid and paraformaldehyde, and either flushed out or changed into something else. Formaldehyde and methanol is being created in your body right now in fairly large quantities by digestion, and not of aspartame. The actual amount added by aspartame is trivial.
