As a Diet Coke drinker .... one bit of fake news that I am getting tired of hearing is saying it is unhealthy ... the science says "diet soda hasn't been strongly tied to any negative health outcomes."

Lol ... are you trolling? We are talking science, not an article typed into a website that confirms your feelings. If you have any good scientific studies please provide links to those. I really hope you know the difference between science and an Infowars article.

The reality is aspartame is incredibly well researched and there's no danger to the average person eating it. Even in doses so large that it's almost unprecedented there's no danger. However, there are some people who cannot process it (phenylketonurics; people who cannot process phenylalanine, one of the parts of the Aspartame molecule). This chemical can build up over their life and cause serious health risks. But that's a specific disorder and condemning aspartame because of that group would be like claiming that peanuts give you cancer because some people are allergic.
