I think you underestimate the resilience of the human body and the ability of your body to process garbage and keep ticking. I bet I could eat taco bell and mcdonalds and drink diet soda literally every day for the next 30 years and I'll still be alive (I'm 32 now). But that doesn't mean it would be healthy. Just because you are alive doesn't mean you are healthy.
Does the study I linked show nothing, yet the study that shows aspartame is safe show the truth? Or is the question still unresolved in your mind and all the studies show nothing?
"The" study showing aspartame is safe? As if there's one study saying it's unsafe and one saying it's safe and thus it's all up for debate. The scientific community and pretty much every major regulatory body on earth agrees that aspartame in normal doses is perfectly healthy for humans. Read that last sentence again. You're the flat earther, to draw a parrallel.
I side with the scientific community and the EU, USA, Canada, and UK regulatory bodies. You're the tinfoil hat wearing conspiracist.
And regarding the first sentence in your post: The normal diet rats who had aspartame consumed more total aspartame sweetened drinks than the high fat diet rats did in your study, you're mistaken. Almost twice as much per bodyweight of the animal. This is all nonsense either way, debating a single rat study is irrelevant considering the grand scheme of things and the bulk of the scientific evidence. But hey, all government regulatory bodies are purchased by "big soda" in your world view so who cares, it's all aliens.

In the chronic in vivo model, where mice received ASP in their drinking water for 18 weeks, mice in the chow group consumed an average of 3.7 mg of ASP (123.3 mg/kg) per day and the mice in the HFD group consumed an average of 3.6 mg (70 mg/kg) per day.

If aspartame causes weight gain in rats in your world view and the study shows it then I really wonder why the normal chow rats didn't gain any ****ing weight compared to their water control group
