1. Well, the results are inconclusive. BUT...it certainly isnt good for you. Stick with water. Your body needs it.
2. Only if you drink like 20 cans a day every day for the rest of your life. Then you MIGHT get cancer. Maybe.
3. I did a project on aspertame. It is pure poison. too much of it can give you cancer, and even in small doses kills brain cells and can result in anger problems.
4. theres a rumour that it causes cancer but none of it is true unless you drink a few gallons a day...
5. You really won't see anything negative unless you chug more than 10 cans a day. Stick with water, 'tis nature's golden glory from the skies. Edit: You'd have to drink around 3 times your bodyweight to get cancer from the stuff.
6. None really - Aspartame is perfectly safe - it's nothing but a small protein molecule & proteins certainly aren't bad for you

8. Cancer in a can
9. Well it is stated that carcinogenics are in all "diet" drinks. These are chemicals and you are drinking them. ALL fizzy drnks are bad for you, you should cut them out for good. Drink fruit juices and water instead. Not only this but fizzy drinks rot your teath and the inside of your stomach. They will also cause ulcers later in life which can be fatal. Quit whilst you can. Stop the fizzy drinks!
10. aspartame=rat poison. cane sugar is far healthier than any artificial sweetener out there becsuse, as their saying goes, "...sugar, it's natural". furthermore, studies have been done on two groups of people on diets. one did coke, the other diet. while neither is healthy, the ones with diet coke tended to lose more right away, but were unable to keep it off at all. however with regular coke, if these people stuck to their diet and excercise it was slow and steady weight loss. why was this? diet coke makes a person a whole lot more thirstier so they were just drinking more and more and more and stuff like that so it defeated the whole purpose.
11. There is an enzyme in your liver that when combined with aspartame converts to formaldehyde. So essentially you are embalming your liver.
12. Aspartame is by far the most toxic substance in any food product. Do a Yahoo search for 'Aspartame' and birth defect', brain tumours', 'lupus', 'Formaldehyde'. There is a Yahoo group for Aspartame victims support. Read what Dr. Janet Hull found out, she recovered from an 'Incurable Desease' by quitting aspartshite. It is an addictive depressent, the more you have, the worse you feel, the more you take . . . downward spiral.
13. cokes are very dangerous its eats a whole right through your stomach do an experiment on a piece of raw meat & see what the results are.
