Aspartame's Cancer Risk: WHO Evaluates Potential Classification as a Carcinogenic Substance

Aspartame, recognized by the FDA as one of the most extensively researched food additives, has garnered significant attention due to potential negative effects associated with its consumption. Studies have indicated that aspartame may lead to increased appetite, weight gain, and the development of conditions such as type 2 diabetes and obesity, which itself poses a risk factor for cancer. Moreover, it has been observed that aspartame can react with residual chlorine found in tap water and sanitized surfaces within industrial food factories, potentially generating highly toxic disinfection byproducts.
