To Mahru :
I read that article a long time ago in a bodybuilding forum. Nothing could be far from the truth - that article is a fake - the author was later charged with a lawsuit for misleading the public about the effects of this simple sweetner.
Aspartame is an amino-acid consisting of aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Only folks with phenylketonuria, disease that requires control of dietary phenylalanine(an amino acid) need to avoid it. Rest assured you have probably taken massive doses of apartame through diet sodas etc. Aspartame is safe and has been in use for a long time.
Re: Aspartame dangers
Aspartame was discussed in my chemistry classes and the profs repeatedly said that the risks depend on the quantity you consume and the amount that is found in food is not enough to be harmful. I guess that's why the FDA approved it.
Re: Aspartame dangers
you should punch your prof just a little every day and tell him that it's light enough not to be harmful..
