Why is anything even remotely toxic banned in every other country BUT the US? We’re the only country that the government allows toxic & potentially deadly additives in our food
There’s no hard evidence. Sunflower and rapeseed oils are far worse that’s a fact
WHO is a Possible Carcinogen. Just look up their definition of Possible Carcinogen.
Same POS organization that refuses to recognize Taiwan and was wrong about literally everything regarding the Wu Flu! I am sure they are right about this though!

Also, #NBCnews, shame on you, burying the lede like that.
Anyone who comments that this supports the 2nd poll answer obviously paid no attention to the video. Fear is the mind killer, people.
I've known it for years.
Circa 2024 FDA announces you will die from something
Circa 1982 new sweetener Aspartame is hailed as first alternative to saccharin that tastes good. FDA 2023 Aspartame causes cancer. Circa 1978- Food color dyes are safe for human consumption. Circa 1983 – FDA announces food dyes cause cancer. Circa 1976 Sucralose discovered. Circa 1991 FDA approves Sucralose(Splenda) for use in U. S. Circa 2023 FDA announces Sucralose doesn't directly cause cancer but it skews DNA which could lead to cancer and other illnesses. Circa 2023 FDA announces worrying about food additives and our(FDA)wishy washy stance on them causes cancer, heart attacks, strokes, the heartbreak of psoriasis, going bald and prematurely gray
So many things, crying out to you
This woman is crazy….so, we can drink 1 ounce of gasoline a day in 1 gallon of juice and we good? 🤦♂️
Have any of you ever bothered to research where and how Aspartame was "discovered "???
Some morons are disguised as doctors 🙄
Aspartame may give you cancer but my can of soda f**king taste great!
Sensation over Sensationalism
It's okay guys, good news, keep jamming this junk down your pie hole they didnt definitely say it was beyond a reasonable doubt, sure shot, definitive, absolute of 100% for sure that it causes cancer 😂 its probably just a carcinogen we can consume in semi normal sized amounts like we use in cigarettes that may or may not cause liver cancer, and they only have a limited amount of data that possibly proves or maybe it doesnt prove that it may or may not be something to cautious of because daddy sam didnt tell us we definitely should do something either way, so probably should just wait until daddy tells us what to do, because we dont like to use critical thinking round her.
t's not the cancer causing that we need to be worried about, it's the BRAIN issues, aspartame is terrible for neurological health look it up and this is in SMALL QUANTITIES
They were saying the same crap 40 years ago. Do you own research, start here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame
It definitely causes cancer. They just don't want to get sued. This is old news. All artificial sugars causes cancer. These people in this video is lying through her teeth. 🙄 I even spoke to my doctor about it, and he agreed. Stop eating aspartame!
Yet coke have been slipping this into all their sugared drinks as well as no sugar drinks.
If it is thrn make all the manufactures stope using it. These manufacturers only want rhe cheapest sweetner. If you force them to stop thrn we can finally get the stevia in everything
Well im dead
Look at these two childlike reporters, go back to your aftercare worker job.
This has been a thing since the what 90's come on aspartame has been ruled safe over and over. Whatever I'm still going to drink my diet soda.
Other countries ban this..
This is breaking news? Let’s start with the word artificial!
Catriona Gray: Everything is good but in moderation.
I wonder why the WHO just released this after so many years theyv'e been consumed by public for years?
I avoid it like the plague.
It causes cancer enough said..i wonder why fda is against this??$$$$ the fda are bought by corporations
I dontvtrust them
I've never liked aspartame and other artificial sweeteners. Ever since I was a young child I had a strong disgust for anything containing it
This isnt new information. I remember talk of this dating back to the 80s. For people pursuing dietary lifestyles without refined white sugar, this is one of the first things you learn when searching for alternative sweeteners.
Regular consumption of aspartame is a health kick compared to having regular boosters of the clot shot.
This is sad!!
Meanwhile at Phillip Morris Tobacco Company …😴
