I’m finding that most zero sugar sodas have come a long way and taste pretty darn good.
Question is, is Aspartame as bad as sugar?

Probably worse.

Aspartame much times sweeter than sugar so the weight to calorie ratio is correspondingly less...it also doesn't promote greater glucose intolerance with people of healthy weight.

FWIW:
Aspartame is an odorless powder that is white and is approximately 200 times sweeter than sugar. This means that a very small amount is needed to give foods and beverages a sweet flavor. The ingredients of aspartame include aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Both are naturally occurring amino acids — also know as the “building blocks” of proteins.
