What of these supposed effects have been proven in clinical studies or research put through a peer-reviewed process?

I bought some trix cereal for my kids one day, I opened the box, grabbed a handful and popped it in my mouth, immediately the flavor of aspartame hit me, I spit it out and immediately searched the box, there was a tiny logo for nutrasweet in one corner near the bottom... I wont buy any of the kids cereals from general mills any more

did you watch any of the 1 hour long video at all? aspartame is made with aspartic acid, phenylaline and methyl ether. aspartic acid is a cytotoxin. phenylaline causes mood swings,panic, seizures. methyl ether causes brain damage, disorientation, tumors, brain bleeding, shortness of breath,cardiac arrest ect.
not safe.

Link me to a research study that shows that aspartame is bad for you. A Youtube video is not proof.

In exchange, you can read this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame_controversy#Reported_and_postulated_effects
It explains why the effects you and the articles state are either bunk or irrelevant.

From one of the links you sent me:
Quote:
The American Dietetic Association (ADA) recently evaluated the low calorie artificial sweetener aspartame and its affects on weight, appetite, desire for sweetness and alleged adverse reactions for its Evidence Analysis Library (EAL). After the evaluation, the ADA reaffirmed the conclusion of regulatory and scientific authorities around the world that aspartame is not associated with adverse effects for the general population, including hypersensitivity reactions, elevated blood methanol or formate levels, or brain cancers. This conclusion statement was given a “Grade 1,” the highest grade on the EAL scale, signifying there is good evidence supporting the conclusion. Further, the conclusion statement notes, “In patients with diabetes, aspartame consumption is not associated with elevated plasma phenylalanine and tyrosine levels, fasting glucose control, intolerance to aspartame, opthalmologic effects, heart rhythm or weight.”

Do you know what salt is made of? Sodium & chlorine. They'd both fuck you up if you ingested them. Quick, lets stop putting salt in out bodies. 
Unless you have any evidence that aspartame is metabolized into any of those things you mentioned, listing the toxic ingredients that are used in it's production is a waste of space.

Its legal because decisions about food and substance regulation aren't made based upon youtube videos.

In 1997, due to public concerns the UK government introduced a new regulation obliging food makers who use sweeteners to state clearly next to the name of their product the phrase "with sweeteners".[30]
In 2007, the Indonesian government considered banning Aspartame.[31] In the Philippines, the small political party Alliance for Rural Concerns introduced House Bill 4747 in 2008 with the aim of having aspartame banned from the food supply.[32] The US state of New Mexico introduced a bill to ban aspartame in 2007,[33][34][35] and Hawaiian legislators signed a 2009 resolution asking the FDA to rescind approval.[36] In March 2009, the California OEHHA identified aspartame as a chemical for consultation by its Carcinogen Identification Committee, in accordance with California state Proposition 65.[37]
In 2007, the UK supermarket chains Sainsbury's,[38] M&S,[39] and Wal-Mart subsidiary Asda,[40] announced that they would no longer use aspartame in their own label products.[41] In April 2009, Ajinomoto Sweeteners Europe, the makers of Aspartame in Europe, responded to Asda's 'no nasties' campaign by filing a complaint of malicious falsehood against Asda in the English courts.[42][43] In July 2009, Asda won the legal case after the trial judge construed the 'no nasties' labelling to "not mean that aspartame was potentially harmful or unhealthy", though it might be appealed.[44][45]
In 2009, the South African retailer Woolworths announced it was removing aspartame from its own-brand foods.

All of those links point to the same study, which has been widely criticized for its methodology and that their conclusions are not in sync with their findings.
