Pepsi to reintroduce Aspartame in new diet beverage

PepsiCo is putting aspartame back in some of its diet beverages less than a year after pulling the artificial sweetener over safety concerns The sweetener had been linked to cancer in lab mice and industry executives blamed the decline in sales on concerns people had about aspartame The move seems to have been a misstep as consumers were dissatisfied over the change in flavor without the sweetener Pepsi MAX will be reintroduced to U.S. consumers this fall as Pepsi Zero Sugar and will contain aspartame
