The International Agency for Research on Cancer found limited evidence of a link between aspartame intake and primary liver cancer; experts emphasized that the public should not be worried.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer announced today that it has officially classified the artificial sweetener aspartame as a possible carcinogen.
Other examples of substances classified as Group 2B are extract of aloe vera, diesel oil, and caffeic acid found in coffee and tea, Pharoah explained, adding that"[t]his is reflected in the view of the [JECFA] who concluded that there was no convincing evidence from experimental animal or human data that aspartame has adverse effects after ingestion."
"Hence, exposure at current levels would not be anticipated to have any detrimental effects," added Boobis, emeritus professor of toxicology, Imperial College London in England.
