Aspartame is a low cal sweetener used ion "diet" products. it is used because it is about 200 times sweeter than sugar. The FDA has made it one of the most widely tested products ever. it is unsure if it is safe or not but it is FDA approved. Supposedly it is to cause major side affects such as blindness, gastric problems, and respiratory problems. I hope this answers your question
