If you want to make a claim against aspartame, go for the cancer claim. It’s proven and accepted by the WHO, and many people consume beyond the threshold accepted to cause cancer (something like a few cans of soft drink per day IIRC)
What? Aspartame is classified as a possible carcinogen, but mostly to encourage further research. There’s an old rat study that claimed to show an increase in variois cancers, but it had a weirdly cancer-free control group and used levels far in excess of “a few cans per day”. AFAIK, no human studies have ever shown any significant correlation. It definitely hasn’t been “proven and accepted by the WHO”.
Possibly carcinogenic with an ADI of zero to 40 mg/kg per day with three high quality (although limited, because there are not yet enough studies to definitively prove beyond chance) evidence for liver cancer in humans
Sory, I wasn’t aware comments in a shitpost community were graded for factual accuracy. I will be sure to be better in the future to appease our teminally online overlords 🙏
You can just drink the sugar free one and get alzheimers from the aspartame instead.
correlation
always equals causation
This is why pirates can cure global warming
