Many informed experts, not controlled by vested interests, now publish detailed studies this year on the toxicity of aspartame, due to its components: methanol, aspartic acid, phenylalanine. The body always quickly converts methanol into formaldehyde.

Almost none of these mainstream studies are mentioned in mass print and broadcast media.

Here is their abstract. You can access the article for $ 30:
