#736 RE: rynlrt #735
In general, the American Cancer Society does not determine if something causes cancer (that is, if it is a carcinogen), but we do look to other respected organizations for help with this. Based on current research, some of these organizations have made the following determinations: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has concluded that “the use of aspartame as a general purpose sweetener… is safe.” The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has stated, “Studies do not suggest an increased risk associated with aspartame consumption for… leukaemia, brain tumours or a variety of cancers, including brain, lymphatic and haematopoietic (blood) cancers.” Though research into a possible link between aspartame and cancer continues, these agencies agree that studies done so far have not found such a link.
