I used to be a diet coke addict. Gave it up. If I have to have pop (soda), which is very rare, I drink the sugarful stuff.
The chewing gum thing; I have not found any (in Canada) that don't have some aspartame - it seems it is in everything!

the odd time I have gum, I buy Spry, which is xylitol gum. Gets hard and loses flavour after about 10 chews, but that's what it is, I guess.

I do not like aspartame at all. It hurts my stomach so much that I can't leave the house. That is linked to my IBS. But I know it bothers a lot of people. We won't drink it at our house and we won't let our daughter have it. I do think it's evil lol.
However, I have to say that aspartame is one of the most researched food products out there and no unbiased researchers ever agreed that it was harmful. Some people are just intolerant to it. That's what the common agreement is. It's used so much in North America people are bound to have reactions
Again, that doesn't mean I think it's good for you.
