Have you ever seen all those ingredients on sodas and energy drinks? Things like..."concentrated" or "dehydrated" ingredients. Refined sugars. Well aspartame is a refined sugar from natural sources but this does not make it healthy. This sugar is man-made...not found in nature. So definitely wouldn't be great for survival and life longevity. These "refined sugars" are found in sodas and energy drinks. Companies keep lowering calories on drinks as scientists keep innovating ways to incorporate more chemicals and refined sugars in these drinks to make them taste great but reduce calories. Not a very good thing. So to avoid many digestive problems and start living a healthier and fuller life I would stay away from aspartame and sodas and energy drinks as much as possible with the exception of Gatorades and Powerades because of they're electrolyte benefits (if you are an athlete).
