Why wouldn't you consume it?
Like with anything you will have some folk that will say that the research is accurate in potentially being able to play a damaging role in brain cancers, others will say that 'that' is not so etc etc. What you need to remember is that the body will generally have an easier time in dealing a natural ingredient than an artificially engineered one. I used to have the low sugar or 'sugar free' squashes and can recall having a 'cloudy muzzy feeling' in my head. Around this time I started getting interested in what I put in my body. Soon after a suggestion by a nutritionist to take it out made a real difference. Within days my head felt clearer and the headaches went. Studies in to 'Aspartame' have shown effects of memory loss, anger, nightmares to name but a few. If you are socialising then like most things, a little occasionally should be fine but I wouldn't get in to the habit of using it a lot.
Just to add, now, years later, that I have cleaned my system right out I can honestly say I'd recommend it, you won't look back. The way I used to feel then, all these supposed every day items that people use or eat that contain chemicals are no good. Remember, what you in take will affect thought and behaviour. Everything will improve if you do a little with all food groups to chuck out as much junk as possible. You can still get p***ed with your friends now and again, no harm with a bit of living either
