Like, the nutrition facts table says it contains nothing other than some sodium. No sugars or fats or calories at all

Yet it clearly is edible, so what is it? Some concoction made mostly from indigestible minerals?

    Asparthame = Cancer

    Aspartame consists of two amino acids (L-phenylalanine and L-aspartic acid). It is hydrolyzed and absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract (GI) through the action of esterase and peptidases. Digestion releases methanol (10%), aspartic acid (40%) and phenylalanine (50%) (Table 1), which are absorbable in the intestinal mucosa [10]. These metabolites can be harmful at high doses and hence prolonged aspartame consumption may be a risk factor
