A study, recently published in the Journal of Nutrition, reaffirmed what more than 200 other scientific studies, as well as Health Canada, the Food and Drink Administration (FDA), the WHO and other health organizations worldwide, have already confirmed: aspartame is safe.
The study, conducted by American Cancer Society researchers, studied more than 100,000 older men and women and found that – contrary to internet myths – moderate aspartame consumption does not cause cancer. The study specifically looked at increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
