Aspartame

Also known as NutraSweet, Canderel, Equal and has E number (additive code) E951. It is commonly used in diet soft drinks.

Aspartame is the methyl ester of the dipeptide of the natural amino acids L-aspartic acid and L-phenylalanine. Under strongly acidic or alkaline conditions, aspartame first generates methanol by hydrolysis. Under more severe conditions, the peptide bonds are also hydrolyzed, resulting in the free amino acids. It is a nonpolar molecule.

Some studies have also recommended further investigation into connections between aspartame and negative effects such as headaches, brain tumors, brain lesions and lymphoma.

Fluoride

Despite governments and the media claiming that adding Fluoride to water prevents dental problems, this is mere propaganda and the dangers of Fluoride far outweigh any rumoured advantages.
