This is all bullshit.. Sugar has been proven in multiple studies to be far more harmful but nobody wants to accept those results.

I know your heart is in the right place man but you are just reading news headlines and accepting them and any buzz worthy study as fact and that is extremely irresponsible... If any of this were true people with type one diabetes (the ones who were originally targeted as a market for this specific product) would be dying and it would have been pulled off the shelf IMMEDIATELY. If you still doubt me? get a blood sugar tester. take a fasted reading (meaning as soon as you wake up before breakfast) for a few days, then do the same and drink a can of diet or coke zero before the test. Your blood sugar will not rise, I assure you..
Aspartame is relatively harmless. This does not mean it is healthy to consume a tonne of it, it probably isn't--this doesn't equate to being harmful though. Any associations with weight gain and diet sodas are because morons are sucking down sandwiches and eating pasta and rice 3 times a week with 'low fat' sauces, not because of aspartame..
