As anticipated, an arm of the World Health Organization has said aspartame is a "possible carcinogen" — but does that label mean much?
No, the artificial sweetener aspartame is not a possible carcinogen to humans, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said Friday (July 14).
The regulator's statement came on the heels of a ruling issued by an arm of the World Health Organization (WHO), which classified the ubiquitous sweetener as possibly cancer-causing.
The WHO agency, called the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), made its call based on a handful of studies in humans, mice and rats, as well as cell-based studies, which the agency says link aspartame to cancer. Each line of evidence was "limited," meaning the IARC couldn't confidently rule out the possibility that the results were skewed by "chance, bias, or confounding." Having also reviewed the data, the FDA flagged "significant shortcomings" in the studies on which the IARC relied, according to its statement...
So what gives? What prompted the IARC to make this contentious call?
In an exclusive published two weeks ago, Reuters reported that the IARC was planning to add aspartame to its list of possible carcinogens. Now, with the publication of a new report in the journal The Lancet Oncology, the IARC has made its declaration official, and aspartame is now listed among hundreds of other possible carcinogens — which include aloe vera leaf extract, "traditional Asian" pickled vegetables and the radio-frequency electromagnetic fields associated with cellphones.

...the only risk to using aspartame is you could develop artificial diabetes. [ripped off from Rodney]
Oh...
NOW you’re going to stand up to the WHO?
There’s a lot of money in artificial sweetners...
Tough call. Trust WHO more than the FDA or the FDA more than WHO?
I seem to remember people freaking out about this 30 years ago when they said sweet and low was a carcinogen because rats got bladder cancer but rats also concentrate their urine 50x humans
Don’t believe any of them anymore. Everything they say is either market manipulation or......market manipulation.
I don’t believe anything the alphabet agencies tell me.
Yeah, Roundup is good for you. And if you’re Covid jabbed then you’re GMO anyway.
Now if Alex Jones called out the Asian pickled vegetable market 20 years ago - he may very well have had a scoop.
[Trust WHO?]
What is this? An Abbott and Costello routine? /Seinfeld
The WHO admitted it wouldn’t be a problem for most people, and that you had to drink a lot of the stuff daily to be at risk. This was a fur ball from the
get go.
WHO who brought us the misinformation about covid
Donald Rumsfeld and the Strange History of Aspartame
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-rumsfeld-and-the-s_b_805581
Yes, that Donald Rumsfeld, the “knowns and unknowns” guy who remarkably executed some of the worst decisions in American foreign policy and got a medal for it. I have been reading up on this strange chapter in the history of Donald Rumsfeld and have learned two things. One, the chemical additive aspartame is very potentially a cancer and brain tumor-causing substance that has no place in our food. And two, the reasons and means by which Rumsfeld helped get it approved are nefarious at best, criminal at worst. And by the way, that medal that Rumsfeld got back in 2004 was the Presidential Medal of Freedom, also awarded to Tommy Franks, George Tenet and that charming warrior L. Paul Bremer. Evidently, “Freedom” means the right to use your powerful friends in Washington to approve your company’s dangerous substance for human consumption and make a fat bonus on the way out the door. So how did aspartame become legal? And more importantly, if it had been rejected multiple times over fears of brain tumors and cancer, why?
When digested, aspartame releases methyl alcohol, aka wood alcohol. That is subsequently metabolized to formaldehyde, which is carcinogenic.
>WHO who brought us the misinformation about covid
They proclaimed it couldn’t be transmitted human-human early on, in January of 2020. They reversed themselves fairly quickly, but they did make that statement at a time when it furthered the CCP narrative at the time.
And the FDA brought us the misinformation about the frankenshot.
Growing, raising and hunting your own food is the best medicine.
Except this is where our guys got the notification.
They should pass on the disclaimer too, if they are going to
pass along information at all.
This is what happens when you pay up the protection racket money to the WHO. Same thing happened to Janssen COVID shot. Then suddenly it was okay. Now suddenly it’s not okay.
Risk vs reward is bad for this.
Methanol is also present in all fruit juices, in small amounts
