Unfortunately, where there's smoke there's fire in a whole lot of ways. The rumors re aspartame have been around since 1984, at least, and there was one that a whistle-blower got paid off. There were enough of them in the 80's that I've stayed away from the stuff. I also know a lot of people who have bad reactions to it. I just don't trust digesting alot of anything that is developed in a lab.
So, according to you, consuming a steak with a baked potato and green beans, and downing it with a glass of red wine, is akin to poisoning yourself.
Don't put words in my mouth, please. I guess it would depend on how much butter and sour cream you put on the baked potato and whether or not the cow was grain or grass fed. Seriously, that's a little ridiculous considering that the discussion is on lab created molecules vs. God-created.
Everything has a balance, but in real food there's at least nutritional value. Artificial sweeteners have none. Period. But, then, I don't care for everything sweet, so I have no reason to use them.
Why would that even matter? We're discussing whether or not aspartame is the poison you claim it is.

Aspartame is the most tested ingredient in history. Sometimes a rumor is just a rumor. Now answer the question: If the three components of aspartame aren't poison when consumed as steak, green beans and wine (or apple juice if you're allergic to beer and wine) how are they dangerous to you in a can of diet coke?

And you can prove their reactions were caused by this ingredient? Then they must have the same reaction when they consume the components from individual sources like steak, vegetables and beverages. There's no way around it. Maybe they suffer from PKU. It doesn't matter whether it is made in a lab or comes from natural sources. That's nonsense. You consume ingredients every day that weren't made by nature, naturally. I see that you are in fact still alive.

Butter and sour cream?!? Whatever are you talking about? Grain vs. grass fed? What the.....? Sorry to be the one to break it to you but almost every piece of food you consume has been genetically modified in some way.

Uh, they're supposed to give consumers sweetness without any calories or nutritional value. That's their very purpose. You seem very confused.
