Aspartame (Nutrasweet) was originally developed as an experimental 
neurological drug. It's sweetness was an unexpected side effect. 
    It was a dud as a neurological agent, except that in large doses, it 
causes brain lesions in lab animals. 
   Some humans experience neurological problems with reasonably small 
doses of aspartame. I personally get a headache if I drink a lot of diet 
Coke. It passed FDA muster because side effects are not widespread and 
not *usually* severe. 
    I work at Emory's Health Sciences Library. I heartily recommend that 
you use one of the free Medline search programs on WWW- look under 
"aspartame", extend your search back 10 years.
