Taken it for years and years in hot drinks, diet soft drinks etc and its never caused me any bother. No real evidence as yet to prove that it is harmful despite the odd and usually not terribly well researched report saying that it is responsible for any number of things. I will wait till the EU ban it before giving up usage.

Aspartame is poison! I STRONGLY suggest renting/purchasing a DVD titled "Sweet Misery - A Poisoned World" by Cori Brackett. You can find it on Amazon.com. You will be shocked by what you learn and will never consume aspartame again. On another note, the breast pain can be caused from caffeine. Whenever I drink caffeine I get breast pain, so I don't drink colas or coffee anymore.

Aspartame makes my throat dry and gives me a pounding headache whenever I eat foods with it.
But the FDA says it's perfectly safe, so I bow to their superior wisdom...

I can sum up my experience in one word:
YUCK
I don't think your memory loss or pain is related to aspartame though, or that you are nuts. I'm willing to bet it is hormonal.

Never had a bad reaction, but it's probably not so good for you. Caffeine in diet sodas can cause breast pains and aggravate little cysts. Why not cut it out of your diet?
