Outrage is a strong word, but, aspartame is a strong poison about which not much is said in the regular media.
Below a link to the Radio program Coast to Coast which discusses aspartame for almost 2 hours (a total of 12 entries on Youtube).
Just listening to the first part will wake you up, and maybe alert you to a possible health issue you may have and which may be caused by aspartame (found in chewing gums, diet drinks and light yogurts among many other food products).
Besides possibly making you dizzy, tired, crave for (more) food, and causing headaches, possible blindness and more, it is also addictive:

Update: As some commenters have noted, the diary is short, and my apologies for that.
The point of the diary is clear however, and my reason for posting this is the fact that I have not yet seen or heard a better interview on aspartame.
I hope this diary does help some people to at least consider to discontinue the use of aspartame if they (or their children) have health issues for which they are unsure of the cause.
If scientific tests oppose each other, one may want to be on the cautious side, especially when lots of money is involved (did I mention lots?).
Update: The comments are much better than the diary; some of my preferred ones:
The thread: "debunked again and again and again and again.....":

"Aspartame-free since 1986":

Also, a much better diary on the subject:
