One of the world’s most common artificial sweeteners is set to be declared a possible carcinogen.

(Edit- Question from OP: downvoters, do you not want me to post stories like this, or are you expressing disagreement with some of the people in the report?)

    If they’re going to take this stance, I want to see them report actual data about how much is safe to ingest. I remember in the 1980’s when JECFA said there’s no risk unless you drink dozens of cans of diet soda per day.

    The WHO also published (in January 2023) that “when it comes to alcohol consumption , there is no safe amount that does not affect health.” They’re sounding like an overprotective parent at this point.

    (Beg pardon if this double-posts : it didn’t seem to show up.)
