Is it really specific to Aspartame though? What if you switched to a product with a different sweetener, such as Sucralose?

Limiting yourself to sucralose means paying a premium (it's only used in premium brands) and restricting what brands you can get. If you want "coke" specifically, aspartame is your only choice. They don't make sucralose cokes.

Not sure how stevia got on there. The zero caffeine version (also on that list) doesn't have it. Nor does Amazon's listing
