Oh? Who is that 'known' by? Certainly not any of the over 100 regulatory agencies around the world who have made aspartame one of the most studied compounds on earth. Unless you have PKU or migraines there is literally no widely accepted science that says otherwise.
“Now, a large study has found a potential link between artificial sweeteners and an increased risk of strokes, heart attacks, and related cardiovascular problems (see "Fake sugars and heart health").”
There's plenty of issues with the 'widely accepted' aspartame safety. There's indeed a lot of research that says aspartame is safe, but not as many if you exclude those that are not financed directly or indirectly by the industry. I will not even get into the circumstances around the Bressler report and the fact that it took a change of FDA leadership to get it approved.
