Aspartame

I had to do a little research on Aspartame for my Chemistry class and it got me thinking so I researched it more than I was suppose to for the class.  I found out that many people think that drinking Coke, Pepsi, diet drinks, or any other drink like that can kill you.  From what I read I see where there is and affect on your body.  Aspartame is made up of Methonal, Phenylalanine, and Aspartic acid and is found in substances like Nutra-Sweet and Equal.  Some of the sources were saying that you can drink to many cokes and it will kill you but according to the calculations I had to do for my class you would have to drink over 800 cans in one day.  In my opinion I don't think that there is a problem drinking them because I don't know anyone that can drink that many in one day.  Many people are trying to get the FDA to ban it but they haven't yet but it is regulated.  It did take the FDA eight years to pass.  I think this is an interesting subject and plan to keep researching it and posting any thing else that I found out.
