Does aspartame really cause cancer?!


Question:

Does aspartame really cause cancer?

if so.... how much do you need to eat to get cancer?


Answers:

I guess it depends on individual, just like some people who smoke their whole life and yet they don't get cancer. There are also people who drink diet sodas (loaded with aspartame) and used loads of artificial sweeteners (made of aspartame), yet they don't get cancer.

I'm a nose cancer survivor, been thru chemo and radiotherapy. Prior to being diagnosed, I was eating a very popular lozenges (F's F) as sweets daily for a period of almost close to 3 years. The least amount I ate was a pack in 3 days and the most was 2 packs in a day. And one ingredient used in this was aspartame.

There are some evidence that aspartame causes certain types of cancer in lab test with animals and according to my experience with my diet of aspartame, it might or might not be true that it causes cancer in humans.

Just type in 3 words (aspartame links cancer) on any search engine, you'll get both positive and negative articles, lab test results and websites. Judge for yourself if aspartame's really safe for consumption. (Anyway, too much of anything does have a slight side effect on the body. Take everything in your diet in moderation.)

p/s: I've steered clear of aspartame since I was diagnosed...
