Aspartame is one of the most common artificial sweeteners in use today. It is sold under the brand names NutraSweet® and Equal®. Aspartame is made by joining together the amino acids aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are found naturally in many foods.
The Dark Side Of Artificial Sweeteners
The chemical is Aspartame breaks down into formaldehyde and eventually into wood alcohol. It produces all sorts of problems, especially mental problems. It impacts literally every organ in the body. The manufacturers of Aspartame are aware of these 'problems' - they know this! There are extensive animal studies and it should have never been put into our food!
I've heard of these arguments. I used to drink coke zero in the past when i had soda cravings. Not anymore.
I also hear the argument that this is what the sugar companies want you to believe. It could all be competition. Regardless, best to avoid consumerist foods in general.

In The Netherlands our neighbor was giving the children, special children cola 0% sugar. My son told him he was not allowed to drink children cola because of the aspartame. Our neighbor always thought it was a good alternative instead of normal cola.

A lot of people aren't aware of artificial sweeteners and the harm they can do. Stevia, on the other hand, is a good, healthy alternative to sugar. Many drink manufacturers are starting to use this also

Yes, a neurotoxin - and we are poisoning ourselves. Nobody forces it, but a lot of people are killing themselves slowly this way.

I hate reading this post lol. I know how bad it is and feel like they did that too us intentionally. I love diet coke but I did manage to quit for a period of about 2 years. Now I have a binge every once in awhile but I mostly drink organic black tea with nothing added or just water.

It's crazy how aspartame is even marketed as a 'better' alternative to sugar. Not saying sugar is healthy by any means, but you're better off just taking your regular sugar than going near this stuff. It's just dishonest how it's marketed, given all the potential sideffects!

There are so many poisons slipped into our food these days. Almost as if it's being done by design! (depopulation/slow-kill)
