False.

Most of the stats and studies I have read about aspartame do not point to it being a major carcinogen. You would have to eat unrealistic amounts for it to cause cancer.

Recent studies indicate however that aspartame is bad because it leads to glucose intolerance.

Yes but you also have to look at the volumes used in the studies. Eg, some used the FDA max daily amount, which is 9-12 cans, which is obviously an insanely high amount for anyone to consume.
