Big surprise. Pretty much every peer reviewed scientific study hasn't found anything linking aspartame to cancer or any other serious condition.
But pseudo science groups LOVE to use aspartame as an example of poison and conspiracy. These are the same people who think vaccines cause autism and that homeopathy is the cure for all our problems:/
Stevia is pretty disgusting, or at least an acquired taste.
The only thing you can argue against artificial sweeteners is that consuming sweet things makes you crave more sweet things.
Diet sweet food and drinks are seldom as satisfying as foods with real sugar and other ingredients. So artificial sweeteners might not be as successful when used with diets over the long term.
But if you are addicted to drinking lots of soda on a daily basis then diet soda will definitely be healthier than regular soda.
Try switching to soda water with lemon. It's hard for the first few weeks. But the bubble fills the the soda void after awhile. I like Perrier.
