‘The multi-billion dollar soda company announced last year that they’re ditching aspartame, the oft-used but increasingly unpopular sweetener that’s been linked to serious health problems.

Consumers have turned their back on diet soda in large part because of health concerns, so how they should feel about the new product?
Unfortunately, Pepsi’s chosen replacements for the much-maligned sweetener don’t appear to be much better at all: the new ingredients replacing aspartame have also been linked to cancer and other health problems, although no one seems to realize it.’
