Aspartame

Some would say it would, other not. Studies show that if you consume massive amounts of it, then yes there could definitely be a possibility that it would contribute for cancer; but that's the case with most things if you consume too much of it. Someone whom is very paranoid would say that it can indeed give you cancer, however ultimately it really can't. A diet coke every now and then, even 1 or 2 glasses a day would not affect you. If you go insane and have massive doses then of course it won't be healthy for you, but like said that's the case with most things people consume. It's just opinionated at this point, but my personal answer is that it cannot give you cancer.

Yes, it does if you get it from the fountain like a 7-11 or a fast food place. If you buy it off the grocery store shelf, it should be fine. Always read labels.

In 1965, while working on a drug for peptic ulcers, Searle pharmaceutical company stumbled upon "aspartame" when one of the workers, James M. Schlatter, got some of it on his finger and licked it, while trying to pick up a piece of paper. He instinctively liked it, noting its intense sweetness, but bitter aftertaste.

No, it does not have aspartame.

int0 formaldahyde, wood alcohol, a poision......so every time you eat drink or chew it or feed it to your kids, its a little bit more poision in your system which builds up cumulitively .....its dangerous, it kills lab mice and rats, but you can find this research easily @ google video.

most gum does. It may not say aspartame directly. Other words for it are splenda and sucralose.

ys sadly mountain dew has aspartame in it, which causes cancer of the lymph nodes, im not drinkin it any more :(

It is being used right now as a chemical weapon in all diet products and chewing gum to make the general public dumb and to make the money slaves continue being slaves and to make it easyer for the governments of the world to give orders without questioning them.

Why is it so hard to find an answer to this simple question. Does the diet drink industry have a hold on google for this question???

To find the molarity, first calculate the number of moles of aspartame. Given the molar mass of aspartame is 294.3 g/mol, you divide 15.0g by 294.3 g/mol to get 0.051 moles. Next, convert the solution volume to liters (250.00 mL = 0.250 L). Finally, divide the number of moles by the liters of solution to get the molarity, which is 0.204 M.

Although eating Aspartame may trigger headache or Migraine in susceptible individuals, it isn't known to *cause* headache on its own. The ICHD-II (the tool used by doctors to diagnose headache disorders) makes no mention of a specific headache disorder caused by Aspartame, however Aspartame is certainly mentioned by most specialists in the list of potential triggers for Migraine.

For appropriate diagnosis, treatment and management of headache disorders and Migraine, please seek the help of a board certified headache and Migraine specialist.

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener. It is 250 times sweeter than sugar in a typical concentration, without all the high energy value of sugar. Aspartame has caloric value of 4 kilocalories (17 kilojoules) per gram, which make it became popular sweetener to those people who are trying to avoid calories from sugar. The taste sensations are created when molecules react with receptor sites on the palate. It just happens that aspartame chemically and physically fits sweetness receptors, so tastes sweet. Unlike many artificial sweeteners, aspartame is digested and is needed in significant quantities to provide enough sweetness. It is an amino-acid dimer - in effect a very short chain peptide or protein

The ingredient list on their site does not list the amounts, but a general rule of thumb is that ingredients are listed according to the amounts in the product, from the greatest to the least. Here are the ingredient lists for several Equal products:

Equal Original PACKETS:

dextrose with maltodextrin, aspartame, acesulfame potassium

Equal Original SPOONFUL/GRANULATED:

maltodextrin, aspartame, acesulfame potassium

Equal Classic TABLETS:

lactose (from milk), aspartame, acesulfame potassium, cellulose gum, calcium stearate

The two sweeteners in Equal are:

Aspartame - a sweetening ingredient that is 200 times sweeter than sugar

Acesulfame Potassium - a sweetening ingredient that is 200 times sweeter than sugar

Aspartame is way too awesome to ever be contained...

aspartame is a 0 calorie sweetener, more commonly known as Nutrasweet or Equal

I recently did an experiment where I watered 3 mung bean plants with water and another 3 plants with aspartame-water. I used a 1/2 teaspoon of Equal mixed with 6 oz of water and poured 2 oz off the mixture on each plant. The same with regular but without the Equal. The aspartame plants started to smell rotten. I conducted my experiment for 3 weeks. On the last day the aspartame plants grew tall but the stems weren't as strong and the leaves looked misshapen, not like the regular, so my advice to you is not to water your soil with aspartame.

aspartame converts into formaldehyde (embalming fluid) in the human body when it is digested. it is possible that is the cause of the decay and eventual death of your plants. it may be that the same chemical process happens in plants as well and well... its just common sense on what happens next. as for people complaining that aspartame is bad for you... it is... but when used in moderation its just as bad for you as sugar. (which also kills you when you have had too much).

it has seriously high content of aspartame, may kill on one comsumpsion, highly dangerous substance

Truvia is an artificial sweetener that is manufactured jointly by Cargill and The Coca-Cola Company and does not contain aspartame. The ingredients used are Stevia leaf sup, Erythritol and natural flavors.

There are two nitrogen atoms in aspartame. One is a primary N in R-NH3, while the other is a secondary N in R-NH-R (R represents the rest of the carbon structure). Since both N has three substituents in addition to the already present lone pair, they both have 4 groups attach to them. Thus, they are both sp3 hybridization.

There are different ingredients in every different type of Oreo or Oreo product. Aspartame is a sugar substitute commonly found in 'reduced sugar' or 'sugar-free' products. Unless the brand you're referring to is 'lite' or 'sugar-free' it most likely contains only sugar, corn syrup, or some other sweetener.

Aspartame. marketed under several names, has been known to cause many many toxic side effects. Tongue numbing or swelling is just one. Elimination of this chemical from your diet should make the symptom disappear, and if not, consult your physician.

Aspartame is a sweetener that is made up of two amino acids, one of them is call phenylalanine. The digestive system of those who have the genetic disease, phenylketonuria cannot digest this amino acid. It wreaks havoc in their bodies; so it does not help but hurt. This is why there is a warning label on products with aspartame warning those with phenylketonuria that there is phenylalanine in the product.

phenylalanine

No but is very bad for your body and sugar is probably a better choice than aspartame.
