A member asked:
How harmful is aspartame? i've read different things about it ranging from it's perfectly safe to consume to it's carcinogenic. is it safe in moderation, such as enjoying an occasional diet soda, or should it be avoided altogether?

Unless you are allergic to an artificial sweetener, it should be OK on occasion. The history of sweetener use is littered with concerns of cancer and toxicity from saccharin through aspartame through acesulfame and sucralose. To say nothing of the evils of high fructose corn syrup. And the cavity generating propensities of table sugar. All things in moderation.
