Aspertame is probably safe in moderation but who could for told Americans would guzzle the equivalent of a 16 gallon keg a day of the stuff. I can remember when on a hot day a survey party of 3 could drain a Gott water keg by mid afternoon. We would take the lid off to let ice melt to water just to have more liquid. Then 7/11 started selling a 48 oz insulated drinking cup that came with refills discounted if you had that cup. Quiktrip followed suit with a 64 ounce. Younger pups would fill one those in morning and instead water drink that and refill at lunch. Soon the water keg was hardly touched. We would pour off 3/4 every morning and fill it up. I asked guys doesnt all that sugar make you sick on a hot humid day and get the no man its diet. I remember one the young guys in his 20s was down with kidney stones. That brought him to his senses hardly ever seen him not drinking water after that.
