I know aspartam, like many chemicals, is not good for the body, but just how bad is it? Some claims that it causes cancer, tumors and various neurological problems..
Others say it's unhealthy, but not worse than ex sugar..
Anyone know where to find facts?

I had serious problems with aspartame. It was causing memory failure, excessive hunger, changes in my judgment and temperment. I've been off it for about 8 years now and I'm doing a LOT better. Google "aspartame side effects" to find out more info.

The following used to be released in some of the international's main clinical journals - the British Medical Journal - in 2005: "... a wealth of proof ... suggests that aspartame can initiate a vast variety of signs adding melancholy and complications." "... despite the fact that one hundred% of enterprise funded (both complete or in aspect) reviews finish that aspartame is reliable, ninety two% of independently funded reviews have located that aspartame has the skills for adversarial results." This quote is from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and used to be released within the International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health in 2007: "The FDA will have to reevaluate its role on aspartame as being reliable beneath all stipulations. Animal bioassay outcome expect human melanoma dangers, and a up to date animal research confirms that there's a skills aspartame danger to men and women." Best wants.

This is the most recent article I've seen on aspartame...in the early 90s the American Food and Drug Administration approved it and denied the claims that it causes cancer, but the European FDA (I'm not sure what it calls) has found differently recently that it DOES cause cancer and other complications. And the American FDA is reviewing this, I guess.

It's made of 2 amino acids, that much I know. Only if you have certain metabolic disorders would it cause a problem I would think.
