The truth is that anything espoused as safe usually isn't as safe as you would like to believe particularly when said product is an artificial construct. Numbered dyes, artificial sweeteners, trans fats, etc. all have their draw backs. People are really only safest ingesting things that are natural and unaltered by human meddling.

That said, everything in moderation. As long as a person isn't downing a diet coke every five minutes, they should be fine. Personally, I have to wonder if aspartame was used on stack of French toast I once ate at a restaurant. It tasted like metal.
