The International Agency for Research on Cancer identified a possible link between aspartame and a type of liver cancer called hepatocellular carcinoma.
One thing about aspartame is how insanely sweet it is. I was reading one description where a chemist diluted a very small amount in a liter of water and touched their tongue to the solution. They couldn’t get the taste of it out of their mouth for the whole day. Sugar is sweet, but nowhere near as sweet, and we know full well how terrible its consequences can be.

Sweetness is just a sense, it doesn’t imply anything about the carcinogenic nature of a compound.
This isn’t how taste works either, that just had to do with the molecular shape of aspartame and sugar.
