Aspartame is safe in limited amounts, say experts after cancer warning - eviltoast
Up to 14 cans of diet drink a day considered safe for 70kg person, as WHO says sweetener is ‘possibly’ carcinogenic in larger amounts

So maybe the huge worry people had after the news that WHO would classify it as cancerous was a little too much. I think the media could have reported on it in a bit more responsible way.

    Also glad to know there’s as safe level of carcinogens I can ingest.

    I mean… yeah? That’s the case for literally everything. Almost anything will kill you if you consume too much. Surely it’s no surprise that the same applies to carcinogenic properties? The sun is an easy one to see the effects of. Some exposure to sunlight won’t hurt you (and is in fact vital for vitamin D absorption), but too much and it can cause cancer.
