Snopes is not a reliable source- they have an agenda. Do your fucking research. Their stupid claim of false is strictly in terms of aspartame before it breaks down, and lawsuits in court being successful.
Aspartame breaks down into formaldehyde and Methanol.
Both poisons. Both proven scientifically to be poisons. Snopes is playing a word game with you- and probably very well paid to do so.
Snopes is consistently shit with a hidden agenda, using wordplay to make claims that appear to be other than what they actually are.
however if you actually did your fucking research you would know the people at the FDA who were in charge of creating the lab results that "prove" aspartame is safe.. later quit their jobs and went to work for the corporation that makes it you DICK.
What are you are too stupid and poorly read to comprehend is that aspartame does not remain aspartame.. it breaks down into other chemicals.. and that's what causes the problem!
Skim reader.. you are one.
FDA Commissioner approved aspartame for carbonated beverages, he took a consulting position with the PR firm for G.D. Searle (maker of aspartame at the time) at $1,000/day.

I think you are inexperienced and poorly read and don't grasp how difficult it is to take a mega-corporation to court when their entire ability to do business hangs in the balance.. you need very deep pockets to achieve that.. very deep. That has nothing to do with whether the product is safe or not. High Fructose Corn Syrup is also not safe, but is used nationwide. The struggles against the tobacco industry are a prime example of how the simplest and most obvious dangerous product damaging product took millions and millions of dollars to even gain an inch of ground against them, and they still make that evil chemical concoction in tobacco called "flavorings" that has been proven time and again to be wildly hazardous and addictive.
You need to discard your nut cupping of snopes and do your research instead of letting those two ass clowns do it for you. You can use them as a list of arguments.. but that's not a final source.

I reviewed the lab studies first hand when this garbage first came out on the market.. one of the damning parts of the studies that declared it safe is that they would surgically remove tumors from the animals while they were still alive.. and only count the number of tumors at time of death.. drastically distorting the numbers to their favor.
The company was called Searle back then, and it was called nutrasweet.
It didn't get any safer since then.

remember the salient point here- aspartame is one thing.. what it breaks down into after being placed in a product- is totally different.. and aspartame always breaks down. That's the part snopes covered up.
I suggest everyone reads this books by Dr. Russell Blaylock. He's a neurosurgeon that's been one of the most active voices in the fight against dangerous artificial sweeteners. I don't have time now but if you browse around YouTube you'll find videos where he also discusses the dangers of preservatives used in vaccines such as thiomersal (derived from Mercury) and aluminum. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0929173252/ref=pd_aw_sim_14_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2EPDPN23HRHZ3E4E9YQ0&dpPl=1&dpID=51fEscI7YrL
The Audacity of the “Anti-Vaxxer”
40 years ago, vaccine reactions were almost never discussed. Vaccines were overwhelmingly believed to have saved humanity from a variety of diseases that had plagued mankind for generations. Although mistakes had been made, for the most part, “the benefits far outweigh the negative effects.”
Today, the accepted “wisdom” holds that although severe reactions to vaccines have been documented, including brain damage and death, they are rare enough that the success of the vaccine “program” is more important. According to Russell Blaylock, MD:
>I reported a conversation coming from the Simpsonwood conference held in Norcross, Georgia, attended by 53 specialists in vaccine effects—including members of the World Health Organization and major vaccine manufacturers—concerning data indicating that vaccines were causing a statistically significant increase in childhood neurodevelopmental problems.
>One of the attended stated that his main goal is to see that every child in this country receives his vaccines, today, tomorrow and forever. In other words, he could care less that the vaccines are significantly damaging children's brains and altering their brain development.
Russell Blaylock, although a somewhat controversial figure, is known for his work in pioneering treatments for certain brain tumors, “as well as improving certain operations treating water on the brain.”
Some of Dr. Blaylock's controversial views include his claim that aspartame may be unsafe even in small doses and that the H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine may carry more risks than the flu itself.
Blaylock claims that physicians are more regimented than any time in history and that “today they do what they are told without question.”
Because of this regimentation—this death of creativity—most doctors are completely unprepared when confronted with potentially vaccine-damaged children and their parents.
Although a popular field in neuroscience, many physicians know very little about excitotoxicity, the major mechanism in virtually all brain disorders. Blaylock, who wrote a book on the subject, continues:
>Some of the most devastating side effects of vaccines involve neurological damage, including encephalitis, transverse myelitis, peripheral nerve damage, seizures, mental retardation, language delays, multiple sclerosis, behavioral problems, and SSPE.
>Most physicians, especially pediatricians, think these events are “rare” and must be accepted to gain the benefit of vaccines. In fact, these adverse vaccine reactions are not as rare as many believe...medical authorities are using clever ploys to hide and alter the data on vaccine injuries.
>They reclassify problems, deny a connection to the vaccines and more often than not, just brush such reactions off as “normal.” For example, one deception is to classify cases of polio as “aseptic meningitis.” By doing so, vaccine proponents can give the illusion that the polio vaccine policy was more successful than it actually was.
An example of this reclassification ploy is the label of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). In a 1982 study, 70% of SIDS cases were shown to follow the DPT vaccination within three weeks.
>In order to avoid admitting that the sudden stoppage of breathing by a baby within hours to weeks of these vaccines was due to the vaccines, the vaccine defenders merely created a new disease and gave it the incredible name of sudden infant death syndrome, which is like naming it the “Baby Mysteriously Dies of Anything but a Vaccine Injury Syndrome.”
As is detailed in David Oshinsky's Polio: An American Story, the early creators of the polio vaccine knew the product was contaminated with an unknown number of viruses, and that at least 100 million people have been exposed to these viruses.
>They also knew that Dr. Bernice Eddy, a microbiologist at the National Institutes of Health, had proven that the SV40 virus, present in both the killed and live vaccines, caused cancer in experimental animals. The public was not informed of this contamination until decades later. Worse, they continued to give the tainted vaccine to children assuming that it would not cause cancer. Modern science has proven them wrong.
Dr. Blaylock continues by observing that most physicians, even pediatricians, know little about the brains of young children:
>There is evidence that the great number of vaccines given to our children, and adults, is causing injury to their nervous systems and that it reduces the ability of people to think, learn, behave and function as normal adults.
>It is well known and accepted that when you vaccinate someone, lets say by a shot in the arm, the body's immune system is thrown into high gear. What is less well known by doctors in practice, especially by pediatricians, is that it also activates the brain's special immune system.
>The central immune cells in the brain are called microglia (they also involve astrocytes). These normally sleeping immune cells become highly activated when a vaccination is given. Until activated they remain immobile, but after activation they can move around the brain like an amoeba, secreting very toxic amounts of inflammatory chemicals (called cytokines) and two forms of excitotoxins (glutamate and quinolinic acid). This puts the brain in a chronically inflamed state.
There can also be the risk of vaccine-induced seizures:
>Multiple vaccines during a single visit, or combination vaccines, raise the risk even higher. Seizures following a vaccination are due to two things happening in the brain. One is that many vaccines can cause a high fever, and this can trigger a seizure in seizure-prone babies, children and some adults.
>It is also known that overstimulation of the immune system, which can occur with certain types of vaccines and especially when multiple vaccines are given during one office visit, can cause seizures. The excess activation of the body's immune system leads to overactivation of the brain's microglia, and the subsequent release of the excitotoxins leads to the seizure. This mechanism has been carefully worked out in the laboratory—it is not a theory.
Blaylock believes that vaccines can cause seizures even days later and that multiple seizures indicate a severely inflamed brain and the need for immediate medical attention. These “seizures” can also be “silent” in that they can be expressed behaviorally, such as periods of confusion or irritability.
The human brain develops much differently than most animals in that long after birth the brain still undergoes dramatic formation of its pathways. Much of this formation happens within the first two years, although it continues until age 25-27.
>Excess vaccination disrupts this critical process and can result in a malformed brain, which manifests as either subtle impairment in thinking, concentration, attention, behavior or language, or serious problems with these processes.
>It has also been shown that excess immune stimulation by vaccination can trigger an interaction between excitotoxicity and brain inflammatory cytokines that greatly magnifies the damage, and can do so for decades.

I've had relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis for 13 years, originally diagnosed in 1996 at the age of 16. I've taken Rebif (interferon) and Copaxone, but, for me, no drugs have worked as well as dietary changes. Like you, I went vegetarian, but I also made a concerted effort to avoid excitotoxins (glutamic acids). I'm no longer on medication but with the diet changes I've been free of new symptoms for 3 years.

Mercury has been observed to increase the effects of glutamic acid. The presence of methylmercury in some fish, and also mercury resident in the body in the form of dental fillings and vaccines, should be considered hazardous not just in its own right, but for its potential effects in combination with excitotoxins.
Some reading..

I haven't read it, but I've heard that the book Excitotoxins discusses this topic. It would likely have relevant references.
Good to hear that, C. Do you just want a bunch of references you can bury yourself in for the next few months, or do you also want some practical advice/shared experience that you can take on faith until you catch up with the theory, so you could start right away?
If the latter, it might help if you provide some specifics - what area you reside in, do you have a house or an apartment, how large is your family, are your kids picky eaters, would others in your family take you seriously, what do you eat, what you don't eat, any health issues you might want to share, etc. I will try to see what resources you might have available around you.
Also, for background - are you familiar with evolutionary considerations as far as nutrition is concerned? Why do you think the soils may be depleted, what do you think are the most nutritious parts of an animal?
This book is a must - not only does it have a lot of healthy recipies, it gives background on why certain methods of preparation must be used, the biochemistry of the processes, etc.

May get those as well right away to qualify for free shipping.

I am a bit pressed for time now - need to replace a family dog, not to mention general burden of large family. So I will likely write piece by piece and then we could put everything together.
