So I'm doing a search on the ingredients of Miralax and found that's it's active ingredient is nothing more than the chemical makeup of ANTI-FREEZE!
Why I even started a search was to see if it has Aspartame in it (which I cannot get a definitive answer ) only to find that Polyethylene Glycol 3350 is nothing more than ANTI FREEZE!!! WHY ARE WE TAKING THIS STUFF?
Aspartame? Does anybody know what the inactive ingredients of Miralax are?

Because most of us understand what we are reading without being hysterical AND wrong.
Polyethylene glycol is relatively non toxic and used in medications.
Ethylene Glycol is antifreeze and will send you blind before it kills you (if you are lucky).

PS. Aspartame, the artificial sweetener, is a diabolical laxative and should be consumed with caution; especially if you like zero calorie candy where the immediacy of the effect can be frightening.
