Twenty some odd years ago, as a wee little girl I did some experiments for a junior academy of science project testing aspartame and other sweeteners on daphnia and I still remember how much it absolutely tortured and killed those organisms as compared to splenda and sugar. It really messed with my mind back then and I found a huge list of side effects for its use which included straight up death. I have no idea why people use it so liberally. That project made me avoid it for life.

As long as I remember, aspartame was always suspected as carcinogen and was told to avoid it. Nice to finally to declare it as such
