Question 5

help please! is aspartame harmful to my body?

Accepted Answer

No: Are you getting your medical information from friends or the internet? If so, stop listening to or reading those sources of misinformation and blatant lies?

Question 8

which is worse for you? aspartame or artificial colors?

Accepted Answer

Aspartame : There is no quality evidence connecting aspartame to anything seriously harmful (some believe it to be a headache trigger).  Although some old artificial colors have been taken off the market (likely without true evidence of harm in humans), there is no evidence connecting the small doses found in food and any relationship to harm in humans.  Focus more on calorie content for health.

Question 9

is it true that aspartame is  dangerous to human health?

Accepted Answer

No: You can read all kinds of nonsense on the internet and wild paranoid theories, but there are no true studies that say that aspartame is dangerous to humans (unless you have phenylketonuria, a rare disorder).  The fda would remove it from the market if it was truly thought to be dangerous.  The best rule of thumb is "everything in moderation".
