Now what would you go and do a stupid thing like that for? Does this have something to do with your diabeeteez? No it has to do with me drinking a 2 liter of Diet Mt. Dew a day, every day, for the past eight years.  It's not the caffeine you should be worrying about, that aspartame can do fucked up shit to your body and brain... Maybe you should take up drinking coffee or tea. Actually hailifax nailed it. . . . there is no scientific proof that aspertain or phenofeltroics (sp?) ; the two artifical sweetners in diet soda have any detramental health risks for humans when injested in the amounts found in diet soda. Well other than like normal soda it can damage your teeth.
Sorry to be a party pooper on Aspartame, but I have a toxicology midterm next week. At the top of one of my assigned 2007 Environmental Prospective readings is:
Aspartame Cancer Risks Revisited
Prenatal Exposure May Be Greatest Concern
In March 2006, EHP published the first compelling experimental evidence for the carcinogenic effects of aspartame at a dose level within range of human daily intake [EHP 114:379–385; Soffritti et al.]. A second animal study by the same research team now indicates that the carcinogenic effects of aspartame are magnified when exposure begins during fetal life [EHP 115:1293–1297; Soffritti et al.].
and from the December 2010 American Journal of Industrial Hygiene:
Aspartame administered in feed, beginning prenatally through life span, induces cancers of the liver and lung in male Swiss mice.
Conclusions:
On the basis of these results, together with previous carcinogenicity bioassays conducted on rats in our laboratories, APM should be considered a multiple site, transspecies carcinogenic agent. A re-evaluation of the current regulations on APM remains, in our opinion, urgent.
