Is aspartime really bad for you??!


Question: Soo im sitting here eating Yoplait yogurt (the light fat free kind) and it says "With Aspartime & other sweetener" on it, so i looked it up and read all this stuff that aspartime can cause all these bad things to happen and that it's in most chewing gum also (im almost always chewing a piece of gum)... and im kind of freaking out now...
Should I stop eating this stuff? and we brought like 10 of these yogurts today and I'd feel bad just throwing them away..
Im 17 by the way...and i very very rarely drink soda or eat other sugary stuff but gum and yogurt i eat probably every day
thanks

Yes, it's very bad. It's detrimental to your health! It's actually a very poisonous chemical used in chemical warfare!

I used to chew gum with it and I always felt tired and out of it- but I stopped for 3 years and feel much better. Now if I chew any gum with it in it, I get a terrible headache. It does nasty stuff to your body.

You'll probably have to stop buying half the stuff you'd normally buy- cause almost everything has it in it! If it has sugar that makes you fat- son't have it or only eat a little- don't buy the diet version! I know I get tempted, I'll pick up a new extra minty gum that's "good for your teeth" cause it has no sugar at the grocery store but I end up putting it back- cause it's poisonous!

ya it is bad for you but i wouldn't totally stop. my mom doesnt really like me eating stuff with aspertame but i still have stuff now and then

Why not not look at the label before you buy it?

Why are you eatting in front of the computer? Eat at a table.
Don't ruin the computer with yogurt.

If you have doubts, don't eat it.

Common sense

I know it is bad for me. It gives me headaches.
