Aside from the first answer, the reason why about 6-7% percent of the population has diabetes is because obesity and unhealthy lifestyles are on the rise. 90% of diabetes cases are Type 2 diabetes, which is directly linked to the above (of couse some cases cannot be prevented, but many can, even if people are in denial and refuse to accept responsibility). Type 1 of course, is not preventable.
One researcher has claimed that aspartame containing "diet" foods don't satisfy hunger and cause the body to crave more food. The body can be seen as being "tricked". Over eating is the result. I *personally* don't know if this theory is complete BS or somewhat valid. Supposedly some data backs this up, and it could go either way.
Regardless, Type 2 diabetes cases will not decrease until people start taking responsibility for what they do and put in their mouth. Note that I am not denying that some cases are strictly genetic, or that other factors such as chemicals are involved. But we have CLEAR data that shows that Type 2 diabetes can often be prevented with a healthy diet, a healthy weight, and regular exercise. Period.

65% of the population does not have diabetes. And diabetes is not caused by aspartame. There was diabetes long before aspartame came on the scene, and no evidence to support this myth that it causes it, or even raises the risk of developing it. Type 2 diabetes is caused when the body becomes less efficient at using the insulin it is producing, Type 1 because the insulin producing cells in the pancreas die or stop producing insulin all together. Aspartame plays no part in either scenario. Obesity, poor diet, and genetics are the leading causes of adult onset diabetes, or Type 2. If aspartame were the cause, then people like my father who never ever ate the stuff, should not be diabetic. This story and it's variations have been floating around for a long time. Before it was aspartame it was sacharine, and that wasn't true either. If you happen not to like aspartame, don't eat it. But don't believe all the scare stories that get floated on the internet. Any ninny can put their own personal theories on the web, and without a shred of evidence to support it beyond a few numbers they manipulated. It's easy to manipulate statistics if you know how, and put it out there to fool people. And plenty out there who will get fooled. I can statistically prove pickles are fatal, using the numbers. The majority of dead people ate pickles, you know? And now they are dead. Can you prove that eating pickles didn't somehow contribute to their death? That's how manipulating numbers works, and although it's easy to see in that case the ridiculousness of the theory, if you do the numbers it's supportable. You need a lot more than numbers to make a case.

ASPARTAME does not cause diabetes. It is an artificial sweetener made from chemicals that does nothing to the pancreas and never enters the bloodstream.
Also, 65% of the American public does not have diabetes. 7% does. That means that m, 93%ost of the public is non-diabetic, and of those people, most of the ones I know would rather die than drink a diet soda, sweetened with aspartame. The dieters that drink diet soda are not usually overweight and do not often end up with type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes as an epidemic is caused by the lack of excercise and the unhealthy lifestyle of the American people as a whole.
Aspartame is a good product used by people who are already diabetic to simulate the taste of sugar in their food. It does not cause diabetes.

RE:
is asperthane causing diabetes?
now that 65% of the public now has diabetes is there a concern or should there be a alarm going off, that asperthane is causing diabetes, as Monsanto has this product in over 30,000 foods now. Go on line and see.

There is no evidence that sugar is directly responsible for diabetes. Being fat is a risk factor (which is very possible to happen if you consume that amount of calories) but sugar alone won't cause you diabetes. However refreshments that contain sugar are related so be aware.

NO, it is not. I didn't even use the stuff until I became diabetic so there is no way it caused mine.

No, it has no affect on blood sugar. I am diabetic and use it in my coffee.
