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.

    Feels like there are 2 classes of sweeteners:

    • Proven to be bad for your health
    • Not yet proven to be bad for your health

    And whenever one in the second category becomes popular, it inevitably transitions to the first category.

      Also, “proven” is a minefield these days. There are so many agents with so many agendas conducting these so-called medical studies. It’s difficult to know what to trust. For example, for decades the sugar industry has been paying “scientists” to conduct dodgy studies into the effects of fat in your diet in an attempt to deflect from the true horrors of added sugar.
