Aspartame is the chemical in the diet sodas that causes metabolic syndrome

The scientists gathered dietary information on more than 9,500 men and women ages 45 to 64 and tracked their health for nine years.

Sorry, I'm just not buying the results of this study until there are more clinical trials. But they are blaming aspartame and sucralose for "tricking" the brain into thinking it has had sugar when it hasn't. It's a pretty grandiose conclusion and I'm not going to stop diet stuff until I hear more.
