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.

Because I like cold carbonated drinks, I like the taste of cola, but I don’t like the thick, sugary, syrupy taste of actual Coke?
Surely you realize it’s not because we have “aspartame cravings” or that we somehow think it’s healthier (there’s nothing healthy about Coke in any form anyway)…

Well, that’s cool, no disrespect from me, I drink coffee, fruit juice, and water as well, but I think it would be nice if you recognized that it’s not that “people are so determined to consume that shit” as though it’s a mystery or they’re stupid or something… :/
Your comment makes it sound like people start jonesing for Aspartame, when I’m quite positive most people who like Diet sodas don’t care what the artificial sweetener is, they just know they don’t like the taste of full-sugar sodas.
If I misread the intent of your comment, I apologize, but it just feels…a little aggressive, that’s all.
Some just like soda, I don’t care about sweetener. But i always prefer sugar free soda to avoid all that suar since that traditionally has been considered the unhealthy option. I just go with the least unhealthy option.
Now, even if these things prove true for Aspartame it comes down to if that actually matters for the consumption levels we have. It didn’t say much apart from not taking safe consumption levels into account, so it may not really be “dangerous” with current use for all we know. Other points like increased weight gain might be worth considering however.
