The safety of the artificial sweetener aspartame has been a subject of
controversy for years, with concerns over its potential links to cancer.
Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) conducted an in-depth review
of aspartame, leading to its listing as a potential carcinogen. This
listing has raised alarm among consumers, particularly those who frequently
consume diet soft drinks and other products containing sweetener. Health
experts emphasize that while the WHO listing highlights a possible risk,
further studies are needed to establish a definitive causal relationship
between aspartame and cancer. For now, consumers are advised to moderate
their intake of products containing the sweetener and opt for healthier
alternatives.
