Basically a noicioceptor is a pain receptor!. NMDA is an excitatory receptor!. Thus if aspartame is an antagonist, it causes the opposite of excitation, which is it dulls the response!. When this occurs in a pain receptor, it dulls the pain response!. This can mean that you don't sense the pain when you should, and you might hurt yourself (like cutting your toe, and then not realizing, so it gets infected)!. This is my interpretation of that response!.
Causing muscle degeneration is a new one for aspartame!. I have not heard that before!. It is reported to do just about everything, but none of it has ever been proven despite rigorous studies and careful monitoring of the complaints people have about aspartame!. Its is a safe compound for everyone except those that have the rare genetic disease phenylketouria!.
I'll post some good reputable (mayo clinic, American cancer society) sites that are about aspartame in general, but none of them mention muscle degeneration, I don't think!. Seeing as aspartame is so common in our food supply, I don't think muscle breakdown would be a problem, we would have discovered it by now!. Plus, as your heart is a muscle, along with most of your other internal organs, there would be some serious problems emerging if aspartame did cause muscle problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Aspartame has been the subject of controversy regarding its safety and the circumstances of its approval by the American FDA and European FSA!. Aspartic acid, into which aspartame is metabolized, is a known NMDA receptor antagonist!. Aspartame itself has been shown to have antinociceptive properties through effecting NMDA receptors in mice!. Some studies have also recommended further investigation into possible connections between aspartame and negative effects such as headaches, brain tumors, brain lesions, and lymphoma!.[16][17][18] These findings, combined with possible conflicts of interest involving CEO Donald Rumsfeld in the approval process, have engendered vocal activism regarding the possible risks of aspartame!.[19][20]Www@Answer-Health@Com
