What? Aspartame is classified as a possible carcinogen, but mostly to encourage further research. There’s an old rat study that claimed to show an increase in variois cancers, but it had a weirdly cancer-free control group and used levels far in excess of “a few cans per day”. AFAIK, no human studies have ever shown any significant correlation. It definitely hasn’t been “proven and accepted by the WHO”.
Possibly carcinogenic with an ADI of zero to 40 mg/kg per day with three high quality (although limited, because there are not yet enough studies to definitively prove beyond chance) evidence for liver cancer in humans
