- cluckindan 6mo agoThat’s probably because 10% of ingested aspartame breaks down into methanol. Or, you might just be sensitive to phenylalanine.

- adzm 6mo agoSame here. People keep telling me it's not, but it is, even when I happen to ingest it while unaware I've done so.
- PyWoody 6mo agoI can tell when a mixed drink uses a soda with Aspartame in it. My mouth instantly feels like it's covered in a thin film of plastic and the migraine is usually just around the corner. Everyone in my family, including uncles, aunts, cousins, have the same reaction, too.
- teunispeters 6mo agoI keep getting people telling me this doesn't happen. GAH. Instant migraine trigger for me too, along with sucralose and several other artificial sweeteners.
