I’ve known aspartame is really bad for you, but after reading compelling evidence in this article of the link between aspartame and leukemia and lymphoma, I’m pretty sure I’ll never touch another Diet Dr. Pepper.  The article is short but compelling (22  years studying over 2 million people), so I won’t repeat it here, but I hope you’ll take a look. And then put down the diet soda and read labels religiously as it’s in a lot more than just diet soda (Red Bull, lots of other “healthy” drinks).
