Sweetening aspartame has been named by the WHO as “possible carcinogen”
- Artificial sweetener aspartame has been placed among the potentially carcinogenic substances by the World Health Organization, although at the same time consumption has been considered safe.
Freskagarri lata batek 200-300 mg aspartamo ditu. Argazkia: artxiboko irudia.
Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.
Aspartame is an artificial sweetener used in soft drinks and many other foods. The World Health Organization (WHO) says Friday may cause cancer but says regular consumption is “safe.” Thousands of products labeled “light” or “0%” contain this substance, as well as the “sugar” that is usually put into coffee.
WHO experts have placed the sweetener within group 2B. "There's danger, even if it's hard," explains chemist Oliver Jones at RMIT University in Australia. However, there has been insufficient research on aspartame.
The safe daily amount of WHO is 40 mg/person, and it is stated that it can be consumed “without risk”. Francesco Branca, WHO Director of Nutrition, Health and Development, points out that more research is needed to "clarify more situations".
