Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Carbon. Arrange it in a funny way and people will freak out, make lies and use it as a scapegoat so they can form class action law suits. They could just use sugar. A pure carbohydrate. Or just not ingest either! But people would rather complain about something than to modify their own behavior. remember, Cigarettes are legal too and we KNOW they produce cancer. Joint that bandwagon. It has a lot more science backing it.

Under very strong alkaline or acidic conditions it MAY yeild methanol. Under high temp and ph, it CAN produce free amino acids. Fruit juices can have more methanol than a can of diet soda. And that is just one example. Your digestive system is not a good environment to break it down to the more toxic components. There are plenty of chemicals you eat every day that would yield toxic products under hydrolysis. Over 90 countries have found it to be safe after decades of research. Grasp chemistry.

A recent study conducted in the College of Science, King Saud University in Saudi Arabia found “chromosome aberrations” in the bone marrow cells of mice given aspartame, concluding that “aspartame has a genotoxic risk.” Genotoxic chemicals are those which are capable of causing damage to DNA! The duration of this test was only 24 hours.

Oh, so all of the peer-reviewed literature in scientific journals on the subject of aspartame now means absolutely nothing because you found something on the internet that disagrees with it? I think your standards of evidence are rather lacking.
Also, how do you know this girl (assuming she exists) simply did not have phenylketonuria (a rare inherited disease that prevents the metabolism of certain amino acids) and consumed aspartame without reading the warning label about PKU?

Correlation is not the same as causation. There have been no studies showing a direct link with safe, established levels of aspartame in conjunction with increased rates of any health problems. I'm not so sure about vast megadoses given to rats, but the daily recommended intake of aspartame equates to about 21 cans of coke a day for the average adult male, and the limit is set well below a level that would be dangerous, so consuming a dangerous amount of the stuff requires effort.
May be cancer causing? Pffffftttt! It does cause cancer! Let me see..... hmmmm...... 50% of the amino acid Phenylaline....... 40% of the amino acid Aspartic acid..... 10% methyl alchol..... Wait, methyl alchol! That's a poison! Don't let your family eat Splenda, equal, anything that uses an artificial sweetener! Use Xylitol sugars, or stevia sugar brands, like Truvia!

You idiot, all doctors involved D Rumsfelt sacked went around congress to get this passed. It is lethal the FDA are criminals that cant be trusted keep your shit to yourself. it is a toxin very very bad avoid at all cost just like sodium fluoride in water a toxic waste product not calcium fluoride.
