Low Calorie Sweetners

Have you ever read the back of the packet on Low calorie sweeteners.
I had not until recently, but having read the controversy around Aspartame, I had a look.

It reads (this is from a packet of Sweet'N'Low)

INGREDIENTS: Dextrose, Sodium Cyclamate (34%), Silicon Dioxide. Cyclamate to be used only on the advice of a physician. Per packet: 2 calories, Carbohydrate 0.5g

Let me replay this.

INGREDIENTS: Dextrose, Sodium Cyclamate (34%), Silicon Dioxide.

This is saying do not eat unless you have the ok from your doctor!. I don't so am sticking with sugar if possible.
