Pure fresh out of the lab aspartame may well be harmless, but that isn't what the end user consumes.

The end user gets theirs after it has been degraded by heat in their hot coffee or tea, in baked goods, in cold soda that spent a week in a rail car on a siding in Phoenix or was otherwise heat processed.

Besides pasteurization, commercial products are a stew of other chemicals, natural and man made, your "Gold Standard" test doesn't have the aspartame age in a pressurized container mixed with phosphoric acid, carbonic acid, citric acid, scorched sugar coloring and God knows what artificial flavors and colors.

Still probably not a problem if it always breaks down to phenylalanine+aspartic acid+methanol and never to phenylal+anineasp+articacidmeth+anol. The same group of letters doesn't always spell the same words...

Is that so? And what do you have to offer as evidence that the chemical make up of what comes out of the lab is different than what you consume? In what way, and how does that end up causing your depression?

Ah, what chemical transformation occurs when we add aspartame to our coffee or tea that causes depression and/or headaches.

in baked goods

They use aspartame in baked goods? Really? I thought that's what they made sucralose for. Are you just making things up as you go along now?

in cold soda that spent a week in a rail car on a siding in Phoenix or was otherwise heat processed.

Soda starts out cold and is then subjected to heat in a rail car in Phoenix? Tell us exactly what happens to aspartame under those conditions and how that causes depression or headaches when consumed. You must be doing all sorts of googling now.

You seem to have lots of questions, but not much in the way of answers. You are, however, doing a fine job of convincing yourself of all sorts of things. Your phobia of chemicals is really something. Your knowledge of artificial flavors is probably as bad as your understanding of how to conduct a scientific experiment. Don't feel bad, it's human nature to fear the things you don't understand.

Still probably not a problem if it always breaks down to phenylalanine+aspartic acid+methanol and never to phenylal+anineasp+articacidmeth+anol. The same group of letters doesn't always spell the same words...

Huh? I'm sure that means something to you, but I have no idea what that is. It is after 5 pm though.......
