Does MSG and Aspartame accumulate in the body?!

Question: No. These substances are excreted in your urine the same as any other waste.

However, aspartame and other artificial sweeteners do contain a substance called phenylanine. In people with a certain rare disorder, phenylketonuria, this chemical cannot be excreted and causes problems such as birth defects.

Aspartame causes retardation in some rare instances where individuals can't break it down.

MSG is a different issue -- it does not accumulate, but causes cancer in rats.
