LONDON, June 29 (Reuters) - One of the world's most common artificial sweeteners is set to be declared a possible carcinogen next month by a leading global health body, according to two sources with knowledge of the process, pitting it against the food industry and regulators.

Aspartame, used in products from Coca-Cola diet sodas to Mars' Extra chewing gum and some Snapple drinks, will be listed in July as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" for the first time by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the World Health Organization's (WHO) cancer research arm, the sources said.

So how am I supposed to enjoy my sugar-free gum? Get my grandkids to chew until all the aspartame and flavours are gone, then pass back to me to chew?

Aspartame was used an ant-poison.

 

[mojito]

You know what else causes cancer? It starts with v ends with g.

 

[laksaboy]

What's wrong? Aspartame is safe and effective.

I'm sure plenty of daft Sinkies cheerfully buy products with a 'good' Nutrigrade rating.

[Devil Within]

The key word is "possible" carcinogen, not sure yet but possible, but sugar is a definite carcinogen.

The key word is "possible" carcinogen, not sure yet but possible, but sugar is a definite carcinogen.

The key word "possible" is placed there to cover their ass and also protect the interest to those who are still producing this crap.

 

[Hypocrite-The]

Both sugars are bad...

Fuck. I want my good old coke with diabetes inducing sweetness.

Aspartame converts into Formaldehyde in your body. the bullshit Nutrigrade only forces the manufacturers to use Aspartame in order to achieve a higher grade that looks good on the label...... it's even much worse than sugar..... use your own common sense.....

61% mah...

Most natural stuff are very safe as they are more stable and less concentrated than those artifically refined version

There are many types of sugars. Some can only be metabolised by the liver. Others are easily used up during exercise.

Diabetes is primarily a liver problem. Instead of fussing over how much sugar is ingested, focus on liver health.

Those PAP/MOH dumbasses had actually put the Nutrigrade label on a can of powdered glucose. Grade 'D'... it's sugar you morons.

What ant poison?
Ants will not go near it!

In fact, the word "artificial" in any food product is a huge red flag already. That means cancer, and other health problems follows.

How can people in their right mind to put artificial things into their body? Oh.. 97% of them done that.
