On average, women who consumed two or more diet drinks a day were younger, more likely to be smokers, and had a higher prevalence of diabetes, high blood pressure, and higher body mass index.”
Rubbish article Rowan, maybe there are other factors in their lifestyles causing poor health. Please quote some proper scientific trials on aspartame.

The link was not internet rubbish, it is "one of the largest studies of its kind, which included nearly 60,000 post-menopausal women who were followed for about 10 years, found that drinking just two diet drinks a day can dramatically increase your risk of an early death from heart disease. The findings were presented at the American College of Cardiology's 63rd Annual Scientific Session in Washington, DC. As reported by the University of Iowa"
There are some Diet Cokes that arent made with aspartame but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to which is aspartame and which is splenda, (only regular diet coke not cherry or lemon) so I'm afraid it's a case of label checking. By the way I mean Diet Coke as in Coca Cola, not sure I made that clear.
Within the frames of a dynamic method called the scientific method, scientists set up experiments, normally with the end of determining causality in the physical world. For instance, one may want to know whether a high intake of carrots causes humans to develop the bubonic plague. As an observation of a correlation does not imply causation, it is necessary to use inductive reasoning from particular observations in order to strengthen (through observed reproducibility) or disprove hypotheses about causal relationships. The fundamentally uncertain nature of inductive reasoning has been claimed to give rise to scientific paradigm shifts, as described by Thomas Kuhn.
This framework is sometimes called the scientific method, and forms part of the Philosophy of science. The dichotomy between hard and soft science can be regarded as stemming from the increased uncertainty and vagueness connected to the inductive proofs of causal links in "softer" sciences.
Cause and Effect........ sorry but it does not prove anything at all, what other factors were at play in their lifestyles, I seem to remember smoking was mentioned? I am talking about the scientific studies done on the product itself, not on people with a gazillion other factors affecting their lives.

Hi folks this might help all asdas own brand of lemonade and diet is free of aspartame ! And less than 50p per large bottleThe coke with stevie is part stevie, part sugar, best off sticking to diet/zero/max if you're drinking coke

Do you have SodaStreams (soda maker) in the UK? I use my SS to fizz water and then add flavored Stevia. Sweet Leaf makes a variety of different flavors. If you don't want to make your own, you could always add flavored stevia to sparkling water.
Aspartame has a bad name on the Internet, but there's very little in the way of actual science backing any of it up...
I think you will find most own brand drinks from any supermarket don't have aspartam in it. I've even stopped drinking robinsons squash and traded it for the own brand as the own brand again doesn't use itI'm trying to find mixers, especially lemonade and tonic water, and other soft drinks that have no aspartame, and it's not easy, they all seem to use the stuff! I won't touch anything that contains aspartame, and have been through every sugar free lemonade and tonic water on the tesco website and every single one (apart from tesco cloudy lemonade) has aspartame!
I'm sure there must be some somewhere, and I know I'm not the only one here to not want any aspartame, so hoped we could list all the relevant drinks we know here?
