Gravitas: Can Diet Coke and 'zero sugar' drinks cause cancer?

One of the world's most popular artificial sweeteners, Aspartame, will reportedly be listed as a 'possible carcinogen' by the World Health Organisation. Aspartame is used in diet coke, 'zero sugar' beverages, yoghurts, teas, sugar-free breakfast cereals and ice creams. Are you at risk?

The more we prevent death the more it comes to us and thus we never know. Just enjoy life, smile, pray, be contented, balance your diet and live a happy life to the fullest. Anything excessive or insufficient can cause us. Everyone will always eventually come to an end.

Aspartame does not damage anyone gut micro organism and does not have any other side effects. The only way you could achieve those side effects is by drinking 150 cans in one sitting even by then the side effects only increase by 0.0001 percent of of glucose surge and side effects. These results and other studies are taken out of context and over exaggerated. You're not a cell you're a human. You'll need to be marinated in a human sized tub of aspartame to get those results to get those effects but we're consuming aspartame not taking a shower. And also you'll die by drowning in water before reaching those side effects. Class dismissed

I wonder even if this is announced to the world whether people will take note of it?. People are still indulging in smoking and other toxic behaviours regardless of the risks involved. Will the supermarkets and the drinks industry be left with products they can't sell I wonder?.
Or will people return and embrace sugar once again?. It's going to be interesting to see what happens...maybe some folks will kick the fizzy drink habit for good.

If aspartame is carcinogenic, it must be banned in food industry, , Maybe WHO must establish the cut off which amount will be harmful or carcinogenic or totally ban the use of this sugar substitute

[TRontheLegacy]

And yet sugar (who’s issues are well known) persists 🥴

[pruthivimohanty]

I'm not drinking it since a long time because I knew it's adverse effect but people gulp it thinking that it will quench our thirst during summer season
