I've read about Aspartame possibly being linked to cancer, but interesting that maybe it is a significant problem for heart disease. Having heart disease myself, looks like this is one more reason why I'll avoid drinking artificial flavored drinks.

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener which, once consumed, breaks down into three components ” aspartic acid, phenylalanine and methanol. Aspartame has been passed as fit to consume by more than 100 countries around the World, but there is evidence that each of aspartame’s chemical components can have toxic effects on health. See here and here for more about this. It is curious that studies on the safety of aspartame funded by the industry invariably find in favour of aspartame, but independently-funded work almost always finds quite the opposite.
