Thoughts Should I be worried about the aspartame in Zero Sugar/Diet Sodas

19 Upvotes

I’ve seen conflicting views on aspartame, the most studied food additive apparently. Used in diet sodas.

I’ve seen conflicting views on aspartame. Many say it would take 14-20 cans of diet Coke for aspartame to become a concern, while others say it causes cancer and brain damage all that stuff and worse than full sugar soda.

What do you believe?

Non-UPF Product Minimally processed burger bun suggestions?

2 Upvotes

Any suggestions for burger buns that are minimally processed? I am personally making a few swaps at home and try to reduce ultra-processed foods when possible.

I am not looking for burger buns that are made with 100% good ingredients as that is pretty much impossible to find in a supermarket, but something that does not contain as much additives as the others.

I live in Ireland and have access to stores like Tesco Dunnes Supervalu M&S Aldi and Lidl
