Did I have several other things to do today? Yes, but the "WHO says aspartame is a possible carcinogen!" discourse was driving me bananas so I did lil a reporting to explain why Diet Coke lovers should not be panicking about the IARC's ruling.

If you're gonna avoid aspartame, do it because it tastes like ass!! Not because a NON-Food safety agency said there is a chance based on limited evidence that aspartame could cause cancer for some people.

You don’t have to freak out about aspartame in your diet soda

A recent Reuters report says the IARC, an agency of the WHO, will declare aspartame is a possible carcinogen next month. However, the IARC is not a food safety agency, and context matters.

Sorry, a LEAKED report from a non-food safety agency that no one can review until July 14th.
