Popular Artificial Sweetener to Be Declared Possible Cancer Risk by Chinese-Backed World “Health” Organization – Will Impact Thousands of Products Including Diet Coke and Chewing Gum

The Chinese-backed World “Health” Organization (WHO) was perfectly happy to let a deadly virus kill 7 million people worldwide. But heaven forbid people enjoy a Diet Coke.

According to Reuters, the disgraced organization is set to declare aspartame, one of the world’s most common artificial sweeteners, a possible carcinogen (cancer risk) next month.

As the Guardian notes, aspartame is used as a sweetener in thousands of products globally such as Coca-Cola diet sodas, Mars’ Extra chewing gum, some Snapple drinks, Mentos, and ice cream. Reuters says it will be listed in July as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” for the first time by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the WHO’s cancer research arm.

But there is evidence that suggests that this is a simple power move by the WHO. The organization did not say how much aspartame-based products are safe to consume.

Moreover, many IARC rulings in the past have led to lawsuits and confusion as noted by Reuters.

Avoid sucralose (splenda) too. It was also declared a carcinogen just a week or so ago

Sounds like the Sugar lobby is busy at work. When will they announce issues with Stevia?

“There is some evidence that consuming large amounts of sugar is associated with an increased risk of certain cancers, including esophageal cancer. Eating too much sugar can also lead to weight gain and increase the risk of obesity and diabetes, which may increase the risk of cancer.”

I suspect the link between simple carbs and cancer is stronger than the link to aspartame.

Something is going to get you. If it has anything to do with WHO, I reject it utterly.

People should start living their lives. If someone watches what they eat, I think that is great.

But it is good to keep in mind that people who don’t smoke get lung cancer too, and people who don’t eat meat get other cancers as well. And people who work out and run marathons get heart attacks.

Something is going to get you.

BS. We have billions of guinea pigs drinking drinking this stuff everyday.
If it were harmful, we would have known about it long before now.

WEF and Davos must be mixed up in this "finding" somehow.

Some similar nonsense was said about saccharine.

Here is my response.

I notice the article fails to mention that aspartame has been known to be carcinogenic in animal subjects for decades...

Did you know that the mice used in cancer research are genetically pre-disposed to developing cancer?

Which one is deadlier: Covid-19, Covid-19 vaccines, or artificial sweeteners?

WHO should be able to answer.

They already found erithrotol is dangerous. It is almost always paired with stevia.

I did not k own that but I’m not surprised to hear. Dishonesty is so prevalent in government, science, academia, and business that it takes a lot to surprise me

The Chinese backed World Health Organization is claiming this?

So what is the true story? Does it cure Cancer or something (Globalists can't have that happen)?
