The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on July 14th that artificial sweetener aspartame is 'possibly carcinogenic' to humans.
exclusively reported that the World Health Organization is set to declare aspartame, which is also sold to consumers as Equal and NutraSweet, as"possibly carcinogenic to humans" next month.
Popular items like Diet Coke, Trident gum, and certain types of Snapple tea contain aspartame, so the announcement thatmay possibly lead to cancer is significant for both the consumer and the companies involved. But as with any major health-related declaration, this announcement brings with it quite a bit of confusion and conflicting opinions coming from both sides of the debate.There are multiple groups of people involved in the coming announcements next month.
However, what this group doesn't do is determine how much of something you need to consume in order for the substance to potentially cause harm. This job is given to a separate branch of the WHO, called the Joint WHO and Food and Agriculture Organization's Expert Committee on Food Additives . If this isn't already confusing enough, it's said that both groups—IARC and JECFA—are set to release their separate statements on aspartame on the same day—July 14, 2023.With the upcoming announcement, some people in the industry believe it may cause unnecessary panic from consumers.
