Aspartame is bad no matter what way you slice it.
Bread: Wheat or white, it's still highly refined carbohydrates which spike your insulin levels when you eat them because your body digests them faster than it would normally digest grains. ONLY bread that's really good is whole grain, because it's lower on the GI and digests better (without spiking insulin levels and therefore storing glucose as fat).
Potatoes are good in moderation, it's always a good thing to rinse them to reduce the starch.. The way you cook them has a major effect on their healthfulness, as well. Obviously baked is the better way to go.
