14 July 2023 at 00:32 WHO believes that the sweetener aspartame can possibly be carcinogenic The WHO classifies that the sweetener aspartame, which is an artificial sweetener, can possibly be carcinogenic to humans, according to a report that was published. Aspartame is currently used in a number of foods and beverages, such as several types of soft drinks, chewing gum and sweetener tablets for coffee and tea. – We do not advise companies to withdraw products, nor do we advise consumers to stop consuming altogether. We advise a bit of moderation, says the World Health Organization’s director of nutrition and food safety, Francesco Branca. The news agency Reuters already learned a couple of weeks ago that the WHO’s cancer research department would label aspartame as a possible human carcinogen. FHI concluded earlier this summer that aspartame is safe in the quantities we ingest in Norway. Both the USA and Europe have determined the same. (NTB/news)
