Answers:
it's really really bad for you.
Originally, many of these artificial sweeteners were 'discovered' as they were the byproduct of fertilizers or smelting.
There is so much info out there on how additives can be bad for you. Do a google search, and you'll have more hits than you can imagine.
There's evidence that it can be a precursor to some cancers and even diabetes.
If you have it once in a while, you should be ok. But having artificial food additives on a weekly basis can make you really unhealthy.

Yep! There are links to Brain Cancer.
You are better off having a soft drink with sugar in it. It is natural.
Aspartame is just a lot of artificial chemicals.
Aspartame is, by far, the most dangerous substance on the market that is added to foods.
Aspartame is the technical name for the brand names NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure. It was discovered by accident in 1965 when James Schlatter, a chemist of G.D. Searle Company, was testing an anti-ulcer drug.
Aspartame was approved for dry goods in 1981 and for carbonated beverages in 1983. It was originally approved for dry goods on July 26, 1974, but objections filed by neuroscience researcher Dr John W. Olney and Consumer attorney James Turner in August 1974 as well as investigations of G.D. Searle's research practices caused the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to put approval of aspartame on hold (December 5, 1974). In 1985, Monsanto purchased G.D. Searle and made Searle Pharmaceuticals and The NutraSweet Company separate subsidiaries.
Aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA. Many of these reactions are very serious including seizures and death.(1) A few of the 90 different documented symptoms listed in the report as being caused by aspartame include: Headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain.
According to researchers and physicians studying the adverse effects of aspartame, the following chronic illnesses can be triggered or worsened by ingesting of aspartame:(2) Brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, parkinson's disease, alzheimer's, mental retardation, lymphoma, birth defects, fibromyalgia, and diabetes.
Aspartame is made up of three chemicals: aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol. The book "Prescription for Nutritional Healing," by James and Phyllis Balch, lists aspartame under the category of "chemical poison." As you shall see, that is exactly what it is.

Yes, here are the 92 symptoms of Aspartame poisoning, including death, as reported by the US Food and Drugs Administration (FDA):

But beware also of Sucralose (Splenda) whose safety is not proven.
Best to use products which contain a small amount of sugar, or just water or fruit juice.
Aspartame is a very dangerous chemical that is in many consumer products. It should be avoided at all costs.
There is quite a lot of research on the dangers of aspartame but the FDA has caved to the food industry and has declared its good for you.
Of course you can trust our corrupted government or you can listen to the tales of many who had chronic fatigue, until they banished it from their diets.
