Original Note:
Aspartame is one of the most studied food additives, with over 100 studies evaluating its safety. You would have to drink 19 sodas a day to exceed the FDA Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI). On July 13, 2023, the WHO said aspartame is safe. The FDA agreed. https://www.safetyofaspartame.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgNKKmaLJhgMVig-tBh1YpAlEEAMYASAAEgI9t_D_BwE https://www.factcheck.org/2023/10/no-proven-health-risks-from-aspartame-but-also-no-proven-benefits/ https://www.healthline.com/health/aspartame-side-effects 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.efsa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/corporate_publications/files/factsheetaspartame.pdf https://www.statnews.com/2023/07/08/diet-coke-cancer-aspartame-who-world-health-organization/ https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/food-health/aspartame-bitter-sweet-controversy
