Wow. Nope to the quoted.

Aspartame is just 2 amino acids. Perhaps you should read the link above "why aspartame isn't scary" and be prepared to have your socks knocked off.

I find it almost amusing that the whole "aspartame is dangerous" thing is still going on, even well after the scaremongering ads have stopped. Thank you, Facebook :laugh:
