Aspartame is the most controversial food additive in history, and its approval for use in food was the most contested in FDA history. In the end, the artificial sweetener was approved, not on scientific grounds, but rather because of strong political and financial pressure. After all, aspartame was previously listed by the Pentagon as a biochemical warfare agent!
It’s hard to believe such a chemical would be allowed into the food supply, but it was, and it has been wreaking silent havoc with people’s health for the past 30 years.

Unfortunately, this is hogwash. There are no peer-reviewed scientific papers to support any of these bizarre assertions.

Thanks for the comment — I personally think anything ‘artificial” really isn’t the best choice for anyone so while I do get what you are saying in terms of citing studies – I just generally think that aspartame is not the best choice in terms of nutrition. Personally the day I gave up drinking Diet Coke – I started on a much healthier path and noticed significant results in my appearance —
