Like, the nutrition facts table says it contains nothing other than some sodium. No sugars or fats or calories at all

Yet it clearly is edible, so what is it? Some concoction made mostly from indigestible minerals?

    Others have cited sources about how wrong you are. It’s also just common sense. With the sheer amount of diet soda that the world drinks, it would be fairly obvious by now if aspartame was significantly carcinogenic.

    Even the text you quoted (but didn’t cite, not helpful) only says that prolonged exposure may be a risk factor. Quite a leap to then say that “aspartame = cancer”
