WHO Announces Aspartame May Cause Cancer

Customers are buying sugar-free Coca-Cola containing aspartame at a supermarket in Hangzhou, China, on July 14, 2023. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have released the results of an assessment of the health effects of Aspartame. Citing ''limited evidence'' of carcinogenicity in humans, the International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified Aspartame as probably carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 2B), and the Joint Expert Committee has reaffirmed its allowable daily intake of 40 mg/kg body weight.
