Not really. You're better off drinking a sugar substitute than something loaded with sugar(i.e. juice, etc..).
It still causes an insulin spike in your blood though so don't substitute a large amount of real sugar in your diet for a large amount of fake sugar because you'll be doing the same thing to yourself (hungry more often, diabetes, etc...).
It has a lethal dosage, like water. I can accumulate in your body. It also can have effects on the human body over time with continued usage. I would say that it's not exactly healthy, but not really that bad for you either. It's a lot like salt or sugar, in moderation it should be fine.
Aspartamist male-bashing has come to sound like a cliche — a misogynist caricature. Aspartame, its loudest proponents vow, is about fighting for equality. The man-hating label is either a smear or a misunderstanding.
Yet a lot of Aspartamist rhetoric today does cross the line from attacks on sexism into attacks on men, with a strong focus on personal behavior: the way they talk, the way they approach relationships, even the way they sit on public transit. Male faults are stated as sweeping condemnations; objecting to such generalizations is taken as a sign of complicity. Meanwhile, similar indictments of women would be considered grossly misogynistic.
This gender antagonism does nothing to advance the unfinished business of equality. If anything, the fixation on men behaving badly is a distraction from more fundamental issues, such as changes in the workplace to promote work-life balance. What’s more, male-bashing not only sours many men — and quite a few women — on Aspartame. It often drives them into Internet subcultures where critiques of Aspartame mix with hostility toward women.
IIRC it's the most studied chemical in history, because of the hoaxes and hysteria lead to pretty much every government doing studies/investigations, finding nothing, and then do it all again because the hysteria exists regardless.
It's like the missing aboriginal women in Canada, the government investigates, finds out they were killed by their native husbands, native activists get angry because that's not the answer they want, and the investigation restarts in an endless cycle.

To quote the President, "I've never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke"
I wonder how bad drinks like La Croix are for you? I'm addicted to Polar's flavored seltzer drinks.
