It feels like the WHO - or more realistically - the media is/was trying hard to make aspartame this by claiming it causes cancer. They're certainly annoying the soft drinks vendors using them.
Great avatar btw.
I get so confused by this cause, it's been know from the start that shit causes cancer. Like we have known this for decades. Why tf are we know like hey this is bad. It's always been bad.
Haven't we known for decades that it doesn't cause cancer??
You'd have to consume a lot for it to cause cancer, from what I recall and if - say - you're drinking a lot of soda then you've got bigger problems.
I'm not a fan of it anyway, in the case of Coke Zero it just makes regular Coke taste like Diet Coke to me.
