One of the world's most common artificial sweeteners is set to be declared a possible carcinogen next month by a leading global health body, according to two sources with knowledge of the process, pitting it against the food industry and regulators.

      Yeah, I’ve been avoiding it since then as well. Other artificial sweeteners as well, for that matter. Nothing wrong with just drinking water.

      It is just as silly of a claim now as it was then. Almost. I mean we’ve added a couple decades of research on top of the several decades of research on it before that. Aspartame is one of the most researched compounds in the world in terms of health effects.
