The sweetener aspartame is a “possible carcinogen” but it remains safe to consume at already-agreed levels, two groups linked to the World Health Organization (WHO) declared on Friday.

The WHO said the existing consumption levels meant, for example, that a person weighing 60-70kg would have to drink more than 9-14 cans of soda daily to breach the limit, based on the average aspartame content in the beverages - around 10 times what most people consume.
60-70kg is about 133-155 lbs.
Does the accumulation over time have negative effects even if you drink the below average aspartame content regularly?
Aspartame does not accumulate. It is very quickly broken down during digestion.
