Aspertame- I read an article in the New York Times regarding medical studies being done on Aspertame. It apparently is NOT actually sweet. It is a chemical that tells your brain it is sweet, that's why when you drink alot of it you crave salty foods.

They are rerunning a testing on mice. Apparently, some had severe cognitive problems after long term usage. Another said that your body actually converts one of the chemicals in the aspertame into formaldhyde and puts it in your fat cells.

Its really not good for you. It also causes migranes.

If you want to read up on it, just type "Aspertame" into the Google search engine and it brings up horror stories, medical studies and other such information.
