How Diet Coke is ‘stopping you lose weight – and ruining your diet’

Aspartame is used all over the world as a sugar substitute in thousands of foods and drinks, including cereals, sugar-free chewing gum, low-calorie soft drinks and table-top sweeteners, according to the NHS.There have been reports it is linked to an increased chance of brain tumours, cancer, premature birth, liver damage and allergies.
