I drink a lot of fizzy drinks which have sweeteners, mainly aspartame, I've heard that this could be harmful?

I have heard that aspartame might causes cancer,but I don't care,as long as I don't get fat from aspartame.

Aspartame has been the subject of a vigorous public controversy regarding its safety and the circumstances around its approval. Some studies have also recommended further investigation into connections between aspartame and diseases such as brain tumors, brain lesions, and lymphoma. These findings, combined with notable conflicts of interest in the approval process, have engendered vocal activism regarding the possible risks of aspartame. I try hard not to buy things with aspartame...even changed the gum that I chew...pain in the butt really, nothing seems to be good for you these days...lol
