CBA statement in response to York University study on Aspartame

June 2, 2016 (Toronto) – In response to the York University study, “Aspartame intake is associated with greater glucose intolerance in individuals with obesity,” the Canadian Beverage Association issued the following statement:

In the study, “Aspartame intake is associated with greater glucose intolerance in individuals with obesity” published by Kuk and Brown through York University, the authors themselves note that, “because of the multiple associations examined, there is the possibility that the observations here are due to chance” and that “the cross-sectional results observed here may be subject to reverse causation”. In other words, the trends observed may well have resulted from persons that already had an impaired glucose tolerance, rather than causing the condition.
