Did... did you read them, "bro"? Because they're making my point, not yours.
The mice were fed an exclusive high fat high carb diet containing double the amount of aspartame that you'd find in a zero sugar drink. They're mice. Scaling that amount up to match mg/kg in a human would be an ASTRONOMICAL amount of aspartame consumed at every meal, for 12 weeks. Even then, the effects in mice were not even exclusive to the aspartame group. ETA: did the math: It's 5.2 MILLION cans of coke zero. Every meal. For 12 weeks.
The second one rated it as 2B, or the weakest link, and it says right there: "JECFA reaffirmed the acceptable daily intake of 40 mg/kg body weight." ETA: Just to put that 2B rating into perspective, shift work, as in working unusual hours, is rated as 2A, which is higher. Magnetic fields have a rating of 2B.
Your last study is interesting but far from conclusive. It found a correlation, which is not causation. Even the author suspects "chronic high intake" of being the culprit.
Stop spreading FUD. Drink in moderation, and you're golden.
While I fully agree with your comments on aspartame and have read these posted articles, I would have to disagree with you on the regular sugar part. The more we are researching sugar and its connection with heart health, the lower the recommended daily intake becomes. One of the reasons it is in fact still so HIGH of a recommendation is due to the sugary drink lobby going against the American heart association (as well as almost every physician organization) for the FDA recommendations.
But yes, in moderation you are fine. Just not as freely with the moderation as they make you think you have. This redbull is claiming 26g of sugar is only 53% of you limit, when the AHA limit is only 36g for men (and 25g for women!). So, bad in moderation.
