Aspartame consists of phenylalanine, aspartic acid, and methanol. Methanol is a highly toxic poison at high levels; it is converted to formaldehyde and formic acid. These substances are highly toxic for the thymus gland. Aspartame is highly toxic for people who suffer from phenylketonuria. This inherited disease causes amino acids to accumulate in toxic amounts in the body, and the phenylalanine in aspartame can be very dangerous for them.

Not enough is known about aspartame to consider it a safe substance. However, what is known is that, according to research done by Arizona State University’s Biochemical Department, aspartame has been associated with seizures. There are also constant complaints to the FDA about recurrent headaches, dizziness, nausea, malaise, and visual disturbances.
