Headaches is only one of Aspartames side effects. Stalling weight loss and insulin problems are two others that can occur.
Aspartame has 3 main components: Phenylalinine, Aspartic Acid, and Methanol (Wood Alcohol). All alcohols (well most) contain some methanol. But, the amount is so small that the alcohol will kill you before the methanol does. But, Aspartame is another matter. A small amount probably won't hurt you. But, be aware that like Alcohol, Aspartame is toxic in large quantities.
