Hollyhouse,
I can tell you from experience the damage aspartame can inflict. I remember when it came on the market, several doctors and researchers in my family said, "STAY AWAY FROM THAT STUFF, ASPARTAME", it can be neurologically damaging. I had many symptoms that all went away within a month of giving up aspartame.
Now, to be fair, like anything, it has different effects on different people. Think about how alcohol and drugs effect everyone differently based on how each persons bodies process the chemicals.
But it's certainly something to consider.
