I don’t think you should, but I do think that Googling the metabolism of aspartame would be warranted if you want to be educated on the subject, rather than discarding it.
As to amount you’ll intake, the average can of diet soda contains 0.18g of aspartame according to Wikipedia.
According to the UK, fruit juice contains an average of 140mg/L of methanol naturally, due to fermentation of sugars in fruits. That means that 12 oz of fruit juice will contain an average of .05g of methanol, while an average soda would contain .036g of methanol.
Amino acids are proteins. The difference between an essential and a non-essential amino acid is that while our bodies require both to live, we produce non-essential amino acids but must intake essential amino acids through our food.

Here are the other metabolites of aspartame:
Phenylalanine (essential amino acid) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylalanine
Aspartic acid (non-essential amino acid) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartic_acid
