Well, even too much water can kill you. But back to aspartame,I don't eat or drink anything with aspartame or any other crap sweetener. I'm just not into that kind of food. I used to be. Not for a long time though, now. The healthier you eat, fruits and vegetables etc. the more your taste buds seem to adapt. When you eat anything with weird sweeteners or just anything that's some sort of "junk" food, it tastes pretty bizarre. Overly saturated with salt or sugar or whatnot. I try to keep it simple, these days.
