Amino acids make up proteins. The chemical configuration of aspartame is different from that of a protein. For example, the same substances can be found in milk, fruits, and vegetables. Some of the breakdown products may cross the placenta, but studies show that the amount is insignificant, and therefore, determined to be safe. Eating foods with aspartame is a personal choice.
Some people feel it is safe because the results of studies show that to be the case.
Others choose not to eat foods with aspartame because of situations in the past where the government ruled that a food additive was safe and then did some more studies and then changed their minds.
