It is certain that high levels of aspartame use, above 2 liters daily for months and years, must lead to chronic formaldehyde-formic acid toxicity.

Fully 11% of aspartame is methanol-- 1,120 mg aspartame in 2 L diet soda, almost six 12-oz cans, gives 123 mg methanol (wood alcohol). The methanol is immediately released into the body after drinking-- unlike the large levels of methanol locked up in complex molecules inside
many fruits and vegetables. Within hours, the liver turns much of the methanol into formaldehyde, and then much of that into formic acid, both of which in time are partially
eliminated as carbon dioxide and water.

However, about 30% of the methanol remains in the body as cumulative durable toxic metabolites of formaldehyde and formic acid-- 37 mg daily, a gram every month, accumulating in and affecting every tissue.

so...is it safe for an idiot like me to drink a whole lotta soda and not get cancer, or gangrene?? Cuz I drink about 2+ litres a day and I figure, no calories, and low sodium, it must be really good for me, right??

Great post RMFORALL!! I've been reading up on this as well. I was consuming aspartame on a daily basis and getting sick. Since I've slowed(almost stopped) my consumption, I don't get that sick feeling anymore. The toxicity IS real.

My diet sucks and so do my Mets
