Well Russel, you are living in cloud cuckoo land.
Aspartame is the ONLY food additive to have to, by law, carry a health warning. (contains a source of phenylalanine)
Aspartame is a Nuerotoxin, it attacks the nervous system.
Aspartame contains Methanol, when heated to 86f (body temp is 96f) it converts to Formic Acid and Formaldehyde. Formic Acid is Natures Poison (Ant sting!) and Formaldehyde is a bleaching agent (Embalming Fluid)
Aspartame is an addictive depressent, the more you have, the more misserable you become, the more your body craves for the stuff, so you drink more of it just to quell the cravings. It is a downward spiral!
Aspartame used to be on the list of Chemical Warfare agents, until Donnie Rumsfeld paid for it to be transfered onto the Food Additives List back in 1980.
Aspartame makers, Monsanto, produced a list of 92 side efects associated with aspartame. The list includes Brain tumours, Migraines, Hearing Problems, Eyesight Problems, Behavioural Problems, Breathing Problems, Headaches, Obesety, Vertigo and Death.
Is it just a 'coincidence' nut since its widespread introduction in the UK in 1995, there has been a marked increase in Truancy, Asthma, Eczema, Road Rage, Depression infact, everything on the list supplied by the FDA (Food and Drugs Administration of the USA).
I believe it is directly linked and that Aspartame should be totally withdrawn from the Human Food chain.
Did I mention Birth Defects, Diverticulitis and Cancer? No, well consider it mentioned.
That said, anyone stupid enough to ignore warnings or advice needs their head looking at. There are plenty of Independently researched sites on the internet. All the government paid sites want to protect their interests so they reckon it is safe and Snopes are totally wrong on this subject, before anyone thinks of quoting them.

Not sure whether sweeteners cause cancer but I imagine they aren't that good for you as they are chemically made. I know they can cause headaches and other side effects and taste rank!
Do you mean hydrogenated vegetable fat? If you do, yes it's the worst kind of fat. Lot's of fast food chains use it as it lasts ages before it goes off and it's cheap. I won't buy anything with it in. Check food labels carefully as it's in loads of stuff.

Artificial sweeteners are made from chemicals. Myself and a lot of people I know get sick when when we use them. Why not just stick to sugar? It's natural, no chemicals!
Here is info about the sweeteners and cancer.

aspartame and other sugar substitutes are chemicals. they are harmful to you. when it breaks down it eventually it becomes formaldehyde. the same stuff that scientists use to preserve body parts. the same stuff the mortician uses to preserve YOU after you die.
For me aspartame is a trigger for migraines. I do not ingest that stuff if I can help it.
