    Oooh you beat me to it!

    But what she said. Seeing as it's "sometimes fatal" I'm sure it won't be hard to produce one case of aspartame poisoning... do let us know.

    Oh good lord, not this AGAIN.

    Aspartame has been declared safe for use in over 90 countries. There is no scientific evidence of negative health effects except at levels that are way higher than any human being would ever consume, with the obvious exception of people who are sensitive to aspartame, especially to phenlyalinine. The only time the safety of aspartame has ever come into question in the United States, it was because there were some questions about the methodology used in the original safety studies and NOT because there was any positive evidence of negative health effects.

    I found something online about how upper middle-class housewives have an affinity for working-class domestic workers.

    I had a diet pop the other day. And right now I have a mild headache. Am I dying?

    Yes...you are.

    But the very interesting thing is...so is the person who never ate or drank or heard of aspartame.

    Don't know why don't you research that for us. That would be interesting....I would like to see if it might be a cause of cancer seeing as our bodies were not meant to process stuff like that....there are so many things out there that are probably bad for us and the reason we develop cancer later in life that we don't even know about....could be a lot of people dies from it but don't know that is what it really was since it seems like other conditions....IDK...Like another poster said...if it is processed or man made there is a good chance that it is not so great for us....but I guess it will be years before we ever know it if then....

    I also read somewhere that if you have a family history of cancer, that Aspertame(sp) can also make it more likely that you will have cancer...Can't remember where I read it as it was 10 plus years ago, but yea...scary stuff....

    how about we all become farmers and grow all of our own food too? If we believed everything we read, we wouldn't eat anything without risking our lives.

    I am no defender of aspartame or soda, and stop drinking diet coke every few weeks (I never last more than a couple of weeks, it's a slippery slope for me). My personal belief is that it's bad for me.

    However, you might want to type "diet coke formaldehyde" into the search function over at snopes.com.
