It's not a generic thing that's applicable to "everyone". For most(?) people aspartame is just fine. Science is weird with stuff that's not universal, it requires too much studying and narrowing the exact prerequisites and people just give up (or don't get funding).
For others (like me) aspartame is not OK in some cases. I can either drink aspartame and ingest no sugar. Or I can drink sugary drinks. Both are fine.
But if I have both a diet coke AND sugary sweets -> my intestines produce gases that are considered a war crime even by Putin.

No idea why, but it just happens.
