Résumé (français)  :

Il est reconnu (bien que ce soit sujet à controverses) que l’aspartame peut produire un certain nombre de petits effets secondaires chez certaines personnes (voir Aspartame Ingestion and Headaches, Neurology, 1994).

De plus, la Food and Drugs Administration met en garde contre l’usage de l’aspartame les personnes dans certaines conditions médicales, notamment les femmes enceintes souffrant d’hyperphenylalanine.

Abstract (English)  :

Aspartame use is acknowledged (though not without controversy) to produce minor side effects in some people – most notably headaches (see Aspartame Ingestion and Headaches, Neurology, 1994).

Also, the FDA warns that persons with certain medical conditions, including pregnant women with hyperphenylalanine, should avoid aspartame:

“Carefully controlled clinical studies show that aspartame is not an allergen. However, certain people with the genetic disease phenylketonuria (PKU), those with advanced liver disease, and pregnant women with hyperphenylalanine (high levels of phenylalanine in blood) have a problem with aspartame because they do not effectively metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine, one of aspartame’s components. High levels of this amino acid in body fluids can cause brain damage. Therefore, FDA has ruled that all products containing aspartame must include a warning to phenylketonurics that the sweetener contains phenylalanine.”
