Aspartame is a common artificial sweetener used in a wide range of foods and beverages. Discovered in 1965 and brought to market in 1981, aspartame is found not only in diet sodas like Diet Coke, but also in teas, chewing gums, and yogurts. Instead, evidence suggests that the flavour of artificially sweetened-beverages increases hunger sensations and, as a result, causes weight gain. The FDA and American Cancer Society, however, both still deem aspartame safe for human consumption. 0.02 14.29 23.08 34.99 90.58 $24,962,318 PAR Paradigm Bio.
