There are people who have a neurological reaction to Aspertame. The reaction is almost like an allergy. The exact disorder name is complicated but it is listed on the package. Suggest that you look at the Nutra Sweet website and see what they6 have to say about the problems.

100 to 200 servings of any sweetener is a lot!

The exact disorder name is complicated but it is listed on the package.

Those people are phenylketonuronics; they are born with a metabolic disorder that prevents their bodies from completely metabolizing phenylalanine (a component of Aspartame). Metabolites of phenylalanine build up and cause damage to the nervous system. These people must eat a very restrictive diet; if the disease is not caught and treatment begun early (i.e. in babyhood), mental retardation will result. Very often, by the time the disease is diagnosed, brain damage has already resulted.
