WHO says aspartame, a sweetener in soft drinks, is possible carcinogen

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday it was now classifying aspartame, an artificial sweetener commonly used in soft drinks, as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” – though the acceptable daily intake level remains unchanged. 

“We’re not advising companies to withdraw products, nor are we advising consumers to stop consuming altogether,” said Francesco Branca, the WHO’s nutrition and food safety director.
