Aspartame is not that bad?

4 hours ago

Aspartame is a synthetic sweetener 200 times sweeter than sucrose and is extensively studied.
After consumption, aspartame breaks down into phenylalanine (50%), aspartic acid (40%), and methanol (10%), which are normal dietary components.
Phenylalanine and aspartic acid are amino acids found in many foods; methanol is naturally present in fruits and vegetables.
Regulatory bodies like FDA, EFSA, and Health Canada have reviewed evidence and deem aspartame safe at recommended intake levels.
Scientific reviews and consensus indicate no significant health risks from aspartame when consumed within established limits.
Concerns about aspartame often involve isolated demands for rigor compared to other dietary risks like sugar or alcohol.
