Revealed: WHO aspartame safety panel linked to alleged Coca-Cola front group - Lemmy.world

Aspartame, when it hits your intestines, immediately decomposes into 40% phenylalanine, 40% aspartic acid, and 20% methanol. Phenylalanine and aspartic acid are nutritious amino acids, otherwise known as protein. Since aspartame is so much sweeter than sugar, it’s used in quantities small enough to make the methanol intake levels lower than what you would get from a cup of fruit juice.

There’s no real danger.

From the reporting I saw, it can be a problem if you drink like gallons of the drinks every day, which can actually happen irl, but is not common. Worth pointing out but not a cause for concern
If you’re drinking gallons of anything over a longer time, you’ll have problems.
water 😎
There was this woman few weeks ago that drank like 3 gallons of water in 20 minutes and died. Water toxicity is, weirdly a thing.
If you drink water faster than your kidneys, lungs, and sweat pores can expel it, your body gets out of homeostasis and can’t maintain proper function
