Is aspartame a healthy substitute for sugar?

Most sodas have about 16 tablespoons of sugar in one can. That is alot of soda. Some people have a problem with Aspartame. Try sodas that use Splenda as a sugar substitute. Sixteen tablespoons is alot of sugar to bombard your system with all at once.

Depends on the soda. A can of Coke has around 32 grams of sugar. A candy bar would actually be better for you but that hasn't stopped me from drinking the Coke...lol.
A healthy sugar substitute is Splenda. It is derived from sugar.
