Everything in moderation. The tests ran on rats in these studies had them consuming aspartame in quantities equal to that of a vat of diet soda every day for humans. Unless you are consuming 12 cans a day (which is still way less than the tests) then it "possibly," a very subjective word, is fine.
"The results of epidemiologic studies of possible links between aspartame and cancer have not been consistent for most cancers. Some studies have suggested a possible link, but others have not."
Seems inconclusive at best...
I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life. If you don't think it is worth the risk then more power to you! But if you are asking for my thoughts (which you invited with your question) I think there are higher risks in life than having a zero sugar can of soda every day. Too much of literally anything in life is bad. Just don't overdue it.
In June 2023, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified aspartame as Group 2B, which means it is "possibly carcinogenic to humans".
We all assume risk in everything we do. These decisions are not one size fits all. Moderation is far more useful than extremist all or nothing thinking.

Hopefully you don't drive to work in the morning, take public transit, work from home or literally any another thing in life…
Price wise people need to stop paying this much, it's the only way it will drive prices down
I thought these prices were pretty good, until I found Kroger has a generic "Dr. K Zero" that's pretty good. 2 Liters are $1.50 everyday price, usually on sale for $1.25 or lower. The cans are normally $4.50, sometimes on sale for $4, but cans are almost always a worse value per oz.

The evidence shows aspartame to be completely safe by a review of the literature.
Aspartame: review of safety
Harriett H Butchko et al. Regul Toxicol Pharmacol. 2002 Apr.
" Over 20 years have elapsed since aspartame was approved by regulatory agencies as a sweetener and flavor enhancer. The safety of aspartame and its metabolic constituents was established through extensive toxicology studies in laboratory animals, using much greater doses than people could possibly consume. Its safety was further confirmed through studies in several human subpopulations, including healthy infants, children, adolescents, and adults; obese individuals; diabetics; lactating women; and individuals heterozygous (PKUH) for the genetic disease phenylketonuria (PKU) who have a decreased ability to metabolize the essential amino acid, phenylalanine. Several scientific issues continued to be raised after approval, largely as a concern for theoretical toxicity from its metabolic components--the amino acids, aspartate and phenylalanine, and methanol--even though dietary exposure to these components is much greater than from aspartame. Nonetheless, additional research, including evaluations of possible associations between aspartame and headaches, seizures, behavior, cognition, and mood as well as allergic-type reactions and use by potentially sensitive subpopulations, has continued after approval. These findings are reviewed here. The safety testing of aspartame has gone well beyond that required to evaluate the safety of a food additive. When all the research on aspartame, including evaluations in both the premarketing and postmarketing periods, is examined as a whole, it is clear that aspartame is safe, and there are no unresolved questions regarding its safety under conditions of intended use."
Actually, it has a decent taste for zero sugar if you like regular Dr. Pepper. But man, does the artificial additives in this stuff make you fart. Yowsers, like a fart factory after drinking a couple of these over a few days. Just a friendly warning ⚠️

Word of caution, numerous times, I have ordered canned beverages from Amazon, which have come with one can leaking from the shipping process. Amazon has always handled the refund process well, but I wanted to let you know there is a chance the cans will be banged up or the box they arrive in will be damp.

Just another day in the home office for me. I just ask "who farted?" The evidence is inconclusive
No matter the item I always set next delivery for 6 months. That gives me plenty of time to remember to check and cancel.
Same. Wish there was a way to just have it default to 6 months on any new S&S orders. Hate how it always starts as 2 months and you gotta always change it manually.

This is useful info and I marked it helpful but it definitely doesn't apply to everyone. Erythritol does this to me to the point of almost not being able to walk from cramping so bad after eating one quest protein bar...but aspartame does not. Not even a little. But definitely something to watch out for and learn about yourself.
