I am finding contradiction here;

Studies have found a dangerous connection between aspartame consumption and the development of brain tumors. When aspartame breaks down it produces a substance called DKP. As your stomach digests DKP, it produces a chemical that induces the growth of brain tumors.

You probably stumbled across one of the non-government influenced studies. Even "independent" research that supports aspartame consumption is so obviously skewed.

Can't address it without a citation.

The amount of DKP absorbed from the breakdown of a serving of aspartame is negligible. In addition, DKP has been found to be useful in the drug industry because it can actually be used to break down tumors:

Altogether, our data show that NPI-2358 [a synthetic form of DPK] is a potent anti-tumor agent which is active in MDR tumor cell lines, and is able to rapidly induce tubulin depolymerization and monolayer permeability in HUVECs. These data warrant further evaluation of NPI-2358 as a vascular-disrupting agent in vivo. Currently, NPI-2358 is in preclinical development for the treatment of cancer.

I wonder why there are so many contradicting studies. This is like fats all over again.

There aren't many contradicting studies, there are one or two poorly-run and biased experiments from fringe scientists that are repeated ad-nauseam on blogs by people that think they're part of a secret crusade to save people from the evil government.

Can't wait until HT gets cancer from trusting government backed studies.

I actually have a $500 bet with a buddy of mine that I will not get brain cancer from aspartame.

He's not a science-denier, he just tends to jump on alarmist bandwagons about health stuff, like doing paleo or crossfit.
