That was jinx the minx's comment, but anyway.

Aspartame is definitely bad news. Such is the power of the drug and
chemical lobbies that they can buy the approval of the FDA.

There were a couple of years where I kept 'sugar free' gum in the car,
which I'd chew on long trips, mostly. It took a while before I
realised it was making me somewhat more aggressive and shorter
tempered. The ingredient list on the packet of gum was so tiny, it
wasn't until I got suspicious that I got a magnifying glass to read
that it contained aspartame. This shit should be banned, and I'm sure
it will be... eventually, when they come up with a new chemical to
market.
