Possibly, probably not:
> Headaches are the most common symptom reported by consumers.[8] While one small review noted aspartame is likely one of many dietary triggers of migraines, in a list that includes "cheese, chocolate, citrus fruits, hot dogs, monosodium glutamate, aspartame, fatty foods, ice cream, caffeine withdrawal, and alcoholic drinks, especially red wine and beer,"[66] other reviews have noted conflicting studies about headaches[8][67] and still more reviews lack any evidence and references to support this claim.[38][41][65]

- jkldotio 12y agoYou are right to call me out on that it seems. I just looked into it further and this study[0] seems like pretty good evidence - double blind randomized crossover study with 48 "sensitive" and 48 control subjects - that there isn't any significant Aspartame effect.
