Aspartame is safe in limited amounts, say experts after cancer warning

www.theguardian.com Aspartame is safe in limited amounts, say experts after cancer warning

Up to 14 cans of diet drink a day considered safe for 70kg person, as WHO says sweetener is ‘possibly’ carcinogenic in larger amounts

So maybe the huge worry people had after the news that WHO would classify it as cancerous was a little too much. I think the media could have reported on it in a bit more responsible way.

I’m still not eating it. It tastes terrible or makes my mouth go numb depending on the type. There is a serious hole in the market to be filled by quick low calorie snack foods that are shelf stable and don’t involve sugar alternatives. Most stuff is just too sweet any way.
