The International Agency for Research on Cancer identified a possible link between aspartame and a type of liver cancer called hepatocellular carcinoma.
In the sense that there’s an LD50 for every compound. Of course, trace amounts of lead have a noticeable impact on cancer rates. Meanwhile you have to ingest at least 12 cans a day of diet soda to have the potential for health effects.
Heavy metals are a pretty special case, which is why they have always been categorized as their own thing.
The only reason we have “safe levels” of lead is because it’s a naturally occurring metal that’s found in trace amounts literally everywhere.
Also fun fact radon decays into lead, often lint traps and clothing have (barely) detectable levels of lead above what you’d expect since dryers are often in basements which all have some level of radon.
You could drive yourself up a wall trying to completely eliminate your exposure to lead.
Ah yes, just like the safe levels of lead.
That’s not how acute or chronic toxicity works though.
Eat sufficient amount of high glycemic carbs, and you also increase your cancer risk.
