A friend of mine is married to a gal who ingests diet coke like there is no tomorrow, and she has just recently been diagnosed with cancer, and the prime suspect is the aspartame...
Won't let my kids drink anything with that synthetic crap in it. Won't touch it myself. Good old natural sugar for me. It may be high in calories, but your body knows what to do with it.
Were you aware that Centrum Childrens Vitamins now contain aspartame as well?... I stopped giving them to my children as a result of seeing it on the back of the bottle.
I think it's obscene how many products are adding things like this to their ingredients without a clear indication on the front of the label.
