So maybe the huge worry people had after the news that WHO would classify it as cancerous was a little too much. I think the media could have reported on it in a bit more responsible way.

You need a huge amount of aspertame to cause issues. Sugar is very unhealthy and it’s in everything. I’d recommend sticking to sugar alternatives. If you’re adding sweetener yourself, to coffee or whatever, there are other options though. I like stevia, which you can even grow and extract yourself without too much trouble. Ragardless, unless you’re consuming absolutely massive amounts of aspertame, you’ll be OK. (Maybe switch to water from soda though. That’ll help regardless.)
Thank you for making me feel a bit better. How tf do you grow stevia tho??? I want to do that.
It’s just a plant that naturally tastes sweet, but not from sucrose/glucose. You can probably find one at a hardware store that sells plants or other plant sellers.
To extract it you put the leaves in alcohol (vodka is fine) and wait 2 days, then cook off most of the alcohol.
