Yes but a can of coke is ~200mg of aspertame. You would have to drink conservatively 30 cans a day to even get close to known dangerous levels.
If you’re worried about cancer, then maybe it takes that much.

If you’re worried about it causing weight gain and/or metabolic syndrome, one serving a day is more than enough to be dangerous.
