Aspartame and Cancer Risk Explained | San Diego News
Description
New research links artificial sweeteners like aspartame to a slightly higher cancer risk, especially breast and obesity-related cancers, based on data from over 100,000 adults. The WHO classifies aspartame as “possibly carcinogenic,” but stresses it’s not conclusive and safe intake limits remain unchanged. Experts caution that this is observational data, not proof of cause, and the risk increase is small. Both IARC and JECFA support ongoing research while reaffirming current safety guidelines — reminding listeners to stay informed and make personal health choices.
