Even a huge dosage of aspartame doesn't lead to raised plasma levels of its metabolites. This aspartame scare is a silly conspiracy theory.
FDA officials describing aspartame as "one of the most thoroughly tested and studied food additives the agency has ever approved" and its safety as "clear cut". The weight of existing scientific evidence indicates that aspartame is safe as a non-nutritive sweetener.

What does a dog profile pic has anything to do with it? By your (idiotic) argument, I shouldn't believe your claim to know what is healthy because you have a profile pic of a guy smoking a cigarette.
It's not
my claim, but a fact based on the conclusive evidence, done by thousands of researchers and scientists. That's the big difference here: you're the one
claiming to know something all the tests done on aspartame obviously seemed to miss, while I'm just informing you of what is right/wrong. You're spewing out silly things regarding formaldehyde, when it's obvious you have no idea what you're talking about.

As a matter of fact, I'm going back on P90X tonight, Day 1, so that means cutting out all the sugars, caffeine, junk food and you guessed it, any diet-tized beverages. I have an easy time transferring over from brownies to the sculpturing magic of nothing but chicken breast & veggies, but I have a SEVERE time in axing Diet Pepsi or any diet pop's. My mom just dropped me off a big case of diet Doctor Pepper as well. FML
