    I have to ask, why is everyone on this thread down on aspartame?

    If it's the taste fair enough, but if you think that aspartame is unsafe then you are badly informed. It's in the same class of internet truth as 9/11 being an inside job.

    As usual snopes has the answer

    Tastes disgusting, sets my IBS off, artificial on top of that...who knows what long term effects it may have...we know what sugar does!

    There are people who are sensitive to Aspartame. Some people don't notice the difference and others do.

    Also there is some research that says people who have migraines are sensitive to it.
