It uncovered eight WHO panelists involved with assessing safe levels of aspartame consumption who are beverage industry consultants who currently or previously worked with the alleged Coke front group, International Life Sciences Institute (Ilsi).

Their involvement in developing intake guidelines represents “an obvious conflict of interest”, said Gary Ruskin, US Right-To-Know’s executive director. “Because of this conflict of interest, [the daily intake] conclusions about aspartame are not credible, and the public should not rely on them,” he added.

There's no evidence of aspartame being harmful to humans and there's been a shit ton of research on it from various people

All I can tell you is that the few times I drank it because I had no other option, I had the taste of it in my mouth all night and for several days afterwards. That's not normal.... My body was clearly rejecting it and sending it out though my tongue.

The only way to get rid of it was to scrape my tongue each time my body sent more back until it sent it all out via my tongue ...

You don't like the taste. You just don't like the taste.

No it's not that. It tasted fine when I drank it but to have that pure aspartame taste for days thereafter is not fun.
