From SNOPES: FALSE

When I read something of this nature and there is no authors name attached to it, I immediately check SNOPES. A lack of an author, is, to me, what makes this kind of thing an 'urban legend'. Without an author there is no way to check the authenticity of the claims being made.

I checked for two reasons:

a) I drink a lot of diet soda

b) My sister and my granddaughter are both allergic to aspartame. They break out in ugly hives when they drink it. In my sisters case, the hives were on her face; my dgd had them all over her legs. Both stopped drinking diet soda and the hives disappeared.

Last comment on diet soda is this: It rots your teeth.
