    aspartame is carcinogenic in large quantities (like most chemically-formulated foods). its also linked to neuro-muscular problems and headaches. personally, i won't touch the stuff. i'd rather be fat than dead.

    Aspartame actually causes depression. Like any chemical, it has a lot of side effects they do not list because of the way it came into the market. It was promoted by the FDA head honcho in the seventies, who before getting that job, worked with the company that invented aspartame. In spite of all the studies revealing how dangerous it was, it got approved by the FDA, mainly because of how cheap it is to produce and to store and how profitable it could be.

    I have a family member who I believe is allergic to Aspartame.After half a can of Diet Soda this person suffered

    Headache,dizziness,nausea,fatigue and rapid heart rate,shortness of breath. I have since read many articles about Aspartame and have come to the conclusion it is toxic. Especially for diabetics( although the person I am talking about is not Diabetic)I have heard that the symptoms of Aspartame poisoning can mimic MS
