The aspartame study was something my husband read a while back on one of the medical sites he visits regularly. He doesn't remember the link any more, but if you tried googling for keywords such as aspartame, obesity, insulin, etc. I'd expect you'd be able to find the original detail.
There is another controversy surrounding aspartame. Some animal studies suggest it might cause cancer, but other studies contradict that. I'm not sure which to believe on that one, but since I rarely consume anything with aspartame I'm not too worried about it.
You might want to try green tea as a beverage of choice. It helps appease the appetite, contains no calories, and offers some good nutrients.
