6. I quit Diet Coke and all aspartamine-containing products almost 15 years ago

for unsweetened teas, coffee, water, and on very rare occasions a Stevia-only sweetened rootbeer called Zevia.

I still use Splenda-sweetened syrups occasionally in smoothies, so I watch for issues with it. But aspartame? We've known ever since Rumsfeld invested so heavily that that product was suspect--not because of his investment but because it was pushed to market with so much fanfare. And suspect medical studies have followed every year since.

Just no.
