My Cellular & Molecular Biology prof (PhD in Organic Chem from UC Berkeley) said that this is a myth propagated by people who don’t understand chemistry. At the time he actually explained the reactions that take place, but that was about 6 years ago and I’ve forgotten the details. He drank a Diet Pepsi before every class.

Note, however, that if you have the metabolic disorder Phenylketonuria (and you would know if you do), then yes – Aspartame can lead to many of the problems you cited. For most people though, per the professor, there is nothing to worry about.
