Artificial sweeteners, including those made with aspartame, have a reputation for causing cancer and other illnesses. However, according to the Food and Drug Administration and the American Dietetic Association, these rumors are unfounded. If you are worried about toxins in your body and want to detoxify from artificial chemicals and unhealthy substances, follow a restricted diet for three to 10 days to cleanse your body from the inside. Such a cleanse will detoxify you from aspartame and any other substances that may not be ideal for your health.

Step 1
Eliminate artificial sweeteners and other potential toxins from your diet. Don drink soda, alcohol or coffee, and don eat processed foods, refined sugar or saturated fats. Read the labels on everything you consume, and avoid a product if you can pronounce the names of all of the ingredients.

Step 2
Omit potential allergens from your meals. Don eat wheat or dairy during your detox. Choose foods that are gluten- and lactose-free.

Step 3
Reduce the amount of meat you eat to one serving per day of lean chicken, turkey or fish. Avoid red meats. Replace meat and dairy with tofu or beans for protein.

Step 4
Use fruits and vegetables as the bulk of your meals. Eat plenty of cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and kale, which are filling and satisfying.

Step 5
Replace processed grains with whole grains. Eat brown rice, whole oats, quinoa and spelt instead of white rice and wheat.

Step 6
Add healthy fats to your diet to replace the calories you are omitting. Include avocado, raw nuts and seeds, olive oil and flax oil in your meals and snacks.

Step 7
Drink at least 8 cups of water per day to flush toxins out of your system. Squeeze lemon juice into your water for flavor, or drink caffeine-free herbal tea.
