I stopped eating/drinking artificially sweetened foods and beverages about six or seven years ago. I decided that sugar isn't so bad after all, especially when compared with the dangers of artificial sweeteners. Several days ago, I accidentally ingested a large amount of aspartame, on and off throughout the day. For two days after that, I felt absolutely horrid. I had severe joint pains, mental fog and confusion and irritabiity. I had forgotten how terrible that stuff is. Frankly, I think it's worse than monosodium glutamate. That stuff should be banned. I'll take sugar any day.
