Aspartame—I read an article years ago that Aspartame turns into formaldahyde once it gets into the body.
IIRC, aspartame is 50% phenylalanine, 39% aspartic acid and 11% methanol. It is the methanol component that is converted into formaldehyde and then into formic acid.
It doesn't matter what the source of methanol is, whether it's from apples, tomatoes, strawberries or red wine, it's all converted in the same manner. Your liver is very adept at removing this minute amount of toxin from your body. You consume all sorts of toxins that occur naturally in the foods and beverages you eat every day. To worry about the small amount of methanol contained in aspartame makes absolutely no sense.

Which why I am so well preserved...
