I think there is some truth to the sensitivity theory. Remember the experiment in HS Biology where each student put a piece of PTH paper on their tongue? Some thought it was no different than a clean sheet of paper and others found it intolerably bitter. That is due to specific genetic differences. I've never actually seen a study that would prove the same for aspartame, but I wouldn't doubt it.
BTW: I drink Diet Coke
That may be true. I really dislike all the artificial sweeteners. They all taste metallic to me, and that taste persists for hours. I don't know if I perceive them differently from others, but I can't take them.

sig operatorWent to a week long school in Philadelipha mid 1980's. Hotel had a Franks soda vending machine.
Spent a lot of my travel money trying all the flavors. They were all good, especially the black cherry and cream soda
No longer made
Settle for a good root beer now.

My case it’s a Triglyceride issue. My cholesterol numbers are good but the other one not so much. It’s been a struggle since my X3 CABG in ‘98.

Lord VaalicI'm boring... Diet Coke.
Occasional 7-up or Sprite, or Root Beer
Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day
