1 year agoAspartame was classified as a Group 2B carcinogen, which basically means that in high doses in animal studies there is some evidence that it causes cancer.
Its one of the most studied chemicals in human history, so its easy to find studies that say one thing or another. But we’ve been studying its effects for nearly 60 years and the conclusion from both the US and EU is that it does not affect metabolism and does not cause cancer under normal circumstances. Based on the current guidelines the safe average daily intake for an adult is between 15-20 12 oz cans of diet soda per day.
Things more cancerous(Group 1/2A) than Aspartame include:
- eating red meat
- drinking hot liquids
- working night shifts
- alcohol
- painting
