Is it true that ASPARTAME based sweetners are dangerous for health, specially for diabetes?

I think aspartame has saved my life. After being diagnosed, I would not have been able to adjust my diet so quickly without artificial sweeteners. My habits are getting better, but every once in a while I still crave a soda. I'm glad they make so many sugar free items.


Also, I agree with above poster: Aspartame is a protein. It can't harm you any more than any other protein, unless you have PKU. All proteins are instantly broken down into their amino acids by the HCl in the stomach (except of course for proteins designed to work with HCl). Source(s): Diabetic and nursing student
I don't truly know for sure if aspartame based sweeteners are dangerous. There are other sweeteners that do not contain aspartame. You may want to ask your doctor.
Aspartame has been the subject of a vigorous public controversy regarding its safety and the circumstances around its approval.

For information on the research and studies conducted:

they arent good for anyone
Absolutely. In a lot of people it will raise blood sugar levels just like sugar. I learned it the hard way.
God I hope not ..I too have been told this but i asked a researcher if it was dangerous and he said that you would have to eat a room full everyday for it to amount to anything..but friends have told me all kinds of vicous things about using it and i have read on the internet more than I want to know..They say that splenda and stevia or the best with little or no side effects.. Pesonally I don't like either of these but will use them in a crunch..I doupt it about the diabetes thing.. that doesnt sound right but who knows in this society everything will kill you if you like it.. and well there is always that bus.. that can come along and take you with it.. and same results..i wouldnt really worry about it..I have been using it for about 10 years and its not done anything to me..and well I think sugar is more deadly than any artifical sweetners..
