> aspartame (yeah yeah not proven to cause cancer, but still not a great sweetener)
Compared to what? Aspartame is almost certainly the most studied artificial sweetener in existence, and the safety profile looks very good.
Yes, I wish aspartame was used more.
I hate those stupid sugar alcohols, and stevia as well. Yuck.
I presume the comment was referring to the lack of greatness in the flavor. Sucralose tastes much better, for one.
