Original Note:
Many regulatory bodies, including the FDA & EFSA, have found aspartame to be safe for human consumption. Aspartame is one of the most studied food additives, with over 100 studies evaluating its safety. You would have to drink 19 diet cokes a day to exceed the FDA ADI. https://www.factcheck.org/2023/10/no-proven-health-risks-from-aspartame-but-also-no-proven-benefits/ 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.statnews.com/2023/07/08/diet-coke-cancer-aspartame-who-world-health-organization/
