WHO likely to announce aspartame a possible cancer causing substance

I have 8-9 diet drinks a day which contain aspartame, 3 coffees a day with the same and this shocked me.


"Aspartame, one of the world’s most popular artificial sweeteners, is expected to be labeled a possible carcinogen by the cancer research arm of the World Health Organization (WHO), a move that could shake the food and beverage industry to its core.

“[The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)] has assessed the potential carcinogenic effect of aspartame,” the WHO said in a statement to Fortune. “Following this, the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) will update its risk assessment exercise on aspartame, including the reviewing of the acceptable daily intake and dietary exposure assessment for aspartame.”

The results of both evaluations will be released simultaneously on July 14."

What isn't bad for you?

Just drink your coffee black with no sugar or sweetner and stop drinking soft drinks they are nothing but chemicals.

Everything in moderation one coke every now and then is not going to hurt. You start drinking 2 litres a day then it might be harmful.
