There's a scale. I wouldn't put aspartame on the same level as smoking for it's chances of causing cancer. That's what i mean. I guess "fully Cancerous" isnt really a good way of putting it into words.
It doesn't outright cause cancer like the title implies. By saying it causes cancer in the title is misleading. There's very little evidence that supports that, and I see them only doing this considering the concerns around it and more research.
I'm absolutely for people knowing this information and making informed decisions if they want to stay away from it or keep using it. That's all on them.
Should've titled it something more like "WHO is about to rule aspartame as 'possibly cancerous.' Here's what that tells you"
