I would be interested to know where Cam W found out that aspartame goes right through your body and is NOT metabolized because I've read a lot about bad side effects and would think that it would HAVE to be metabolized in some way in order for these effects to occur.
Also, I had a boss, who became the boss from he!! and some of us at work thought her personality change was due in part to her MASSIVE consumption of Diet cola with aspartame in it. The woman had dry mouth and would not drink anything (not water, not seltzer, not juice) but DIET COLA!! She must have gone through a dozen cans a DAY, between work and home. At this high a "dose" I would think the aspartame was having harmful effects, and I had read somewhere that it can cause irritability. (she was beyond that!)
