ForbesAPR 2023
Listing aspartame as a possible carcinogen is a call for additional research into its health effects — such as links to Type II diabetes and cerebrovascular disease — but not to cause panic among consumers of the popular artificial sweetener. The food and beverage industry must not be afraid of more scrutiny to vindicate their products' safety further. There's no cause for alarm with aspartame.
From obesity to diabetes to possible cancer ties, aspartame has long been linked to a slew of health issues. The FDA and other regulatory agencies need to take a closer look based on decades of disturbing scientific studies. In the meantime, consumers need to consider healthier alternatives immediately.
