This should be big - and about time. Studies have known about this for 40 years, and it’s known in some circles that aspartame is quite bad for your health.

Wonder what coke - and many other companies that use it - are going to do.

    Aspartame just like about anything is not good for you in large quantities. This probably doesn’t concern you if you just drink moderate amounts of sugar free drinks.

          I was about to admonish you asking for a link to a linked article, BUT the author linked to a link aggregator.

          I went through all the linked article’s “abstracts.” Nothing.

          I went through a few articles. Best I found was the WHO recommending an overall less sweet diet.

            I tried to read it to figure out what the quantities that are dangerous are. Might be an idiot but I couldn’t find anything in the text that supported the title

              Title of the document or title of this post?

              And just to clarify, we’re looking for links to evidence that aspartame has an effect on “weight gain, GI disorders, anxiety and more.”
