What the fuck! Aspartame causes cancer! Thats the last time i dirnk diet soda. I drank diet soda because regular ones have way too much sugar and i always thought sugar was more of a threat. Thanks for the warning.XcelKrush said:Splenda is a simple sugar just like table sugar. The difference is its like 200 times sweeter so very little is needed to sweeten food, thus it has very few calories. Aspartame is whats said to cause cancer, maybe your friend got the two mixed up.

I'm sorry that's not funny
Well its supposed to be ok for you in small quantities. But the problem with aspartame is that it contains two amino acids; (Phenalanine+aspartic acid) and methanol. Methanol is a poison rarely found in freestanding form, but it is the first thing to break down in your system. Freestanding methanol can cause and endless list of symtoms from headaches to blindness. As well, when aspartame is heated above 85 degrees(such as leaving a can of soda out on a hot day) the aspartame decomposes into freestanding methanol.(Yum!)michael74737 said:What the fuck!

My knee jerk reaction is that molecularly altering sugar via cholrination might have adverse effects down the line.
It seems to me that our experience with artificial sweetners shows that they don't come without side effects.

Before aspartame can be removed from your body it must go through an energy draining process which convert methanol in formaldehyde, a substance used for embalming.
All this of this was approved by the commissioner FDA in 1981 when indications had already been made that aspartame could cause brain tumors.
Dont you just love diet coke?
