Way too many of you dumbasses get their news from hack places. Makes me sad that you will believe anything you hear or read. You should learn what is reputable and what is not.

Aspartame. It's a key ingredient in Splenda and others. Long term studies have shown to be associated with memory loss and other brain complications

Here is information regarding aspartame from a real source... The Journal of Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology

Repeated studies in peer-reviewed journals show no adverse effects of aspartame in relation to seizures (in rats, children, or adults), weight gain, body temperature, cognitive/behavioral/neuropsychiatric/neurophysiologic function, brain/intestinal/liver hormones or enzymes, brain tumors, cancer, birth defects (in rats or humans), Parkinson's disease, allergic responses, blood pressure, or carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. In 2001, the journal Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology published an evaluation of aspartame's use and safety since its approval (vol. 34, no. 3, pp. 221-233). This evaluation, which cited extensive scientific research investigating various allegations, reported that no causal relationship between aspartame and adverse effects had been found and that, even in amounts many times what people typically consume, aspartame is safe.
