For those of you avoiding aspartame, I'd like to point out that it is in a lot more products besides sodas. I don't use sweeteners, because I prefer sugar.
When grocery shopping, I've seen it added in the flavored Half & Half Milks (Coffeemate and International Delights). It is used in a lot of the ready sweetened cereal, especially the brands that our children prefer. It is in the hot chocolate/cocoa.
I point this out not to scare, but to be aware.
