Anyone with half a brain knows that aspartame is a harmful chemical that has no reason to be in our food. Hell, HFCS is a better sweetener than that poison.
The consensus among scientists and all the data from numerous studies conclude the aspartame is in no way harmful for you except in unrealistically extreme proportions (100+ cans of soda per day for months). There is literally no evidence that it is carcinogenic.The only harmful aspect is that it gets your body accustomed to eating sweet things, which can result in cravings for sweet things. If you have an ounce of self control in your diet it poses zero risk.

The government wants aspartame to be accepted, and you're a fool if you think studies can't be bought.
I could never get past the taste of it. Shit don't taste like sugar, man. Pretty sure it's only been shown to cause cancer in rats with extremely high intake levels of the stuff... but I still wouldn't trust it.

I've tried "sugar-free" orange juice that uses aspartame to make it sweet. There's something really off about the taste.

You're welcome to live in a fantasy world where the government can just buy-out hundreds of independent studies just for the sake of convincing people that something with zero calories can magically make you fat. That sounds like a reasonable, logical conclusion.

Something that actually tastes good.

Most studies in people have not found that aspartame use is linked to an increased risk of cancer.One early study suggested that an increased rate of brain tumors in the US during the 1980s might have been related to aspartame use. However, according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the increase in brain tumor rates actually began back in the early 1970s, well before aspartame was in use. And most of the increase was seen in people age 70 and older, a group that was not exposed to the highest doses of aspartame, which might also make this link less likely. Other studies have not found an increase in brain tumors related to aspartame use.In the largest study of this issue, researchers from the NCI looked at cancer rates in more than 500,000 older adults. The study found that, compared to people who did not drink aspartame-containing beverages, those who did drink them did not have an increased risk of lymphomas, leukemias, or brain tumors.A recent study of more than 125,000 people found a link between consumption of aspartame sweetened soda and the risk of leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma in men, but not in women. Since it also found a link between sugar sweetened soda and lymphoma in men, the researchers concluded that the links they found could be explained by chance.

Certain sweeteners may elicit a very minor insulin response, but artificial sweeteners are so much more concentrated than sugar that there just isn't enough of the stuff to do anything significant. Except for giving you a bit of a sweet-tooth, artificial sweeteners really are harmless.
