Nice click bait (the article is about how aspartame is not linked to cancer).

On the topic, people have somehow convinced themselves that all chemicals are bad. And of course their "common sense" trumps couple decades of scientific studies.

Except that Aspartame is bad although possibly not causing cancer. All sweeteners (even though not containing glucose) have been found to increase blood sugar. And, on top of it, Aspartame is an excitotoxin, i.e. if you value your brain, stay off Aspartame!
