Could aspartame be used to grow plants?

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener that consists of amino acids and is not a nutrient source for plants. While it may not directly promote plant growth, its breakdown products could potentially influence microbial activity in the soil. However, there is limited research on the effects of aspartame on plant growth or soil health, making it an unsuitable choice for cultivation. Generally, plants thrive better with established fertilizers that provide essential nutrients.
