Original Note:
There is no link between aspartame & cancer. While CEO at G.D. Searle, Donald Rumsfeld likely influenced approval of aspartame. It's an additive found in diet sodas. FDA scientists do not have safety concerns if aspartame is used under the approved conditions. https://www.factcheck.org/2023/10/no-proven-health-risks-from-aspartame-but-also-no-proven-benefits/ https://oawhealth.com/article/how-aspartame-became-legal-the-timeline/ https://www.fda.gov/food/food-additives-petitions/aspartame-and-other-sweeteners-food https://www.cancer.org/cancer/risk-prevention/chemicals/aspartame.html https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/causes-of-cancer/cancer-myths/do-artificial-sweeteners-cause-cancer
