The International Agency for Research on Cancer identified a possible link between aspartame and a type of liver cancer called hepatocellular carcinoma.
The WHO said aspartame is safe to consume within a daily limit of 40 milligrams per kilogram of a person’s body weight.
An adult weighing 70 kilograms or 154 pounds would have to drink more than nine to 14 cans of aspartame-containing soda daily to exceed the limit and potentially face health risks.
Holy shit you weren’t kidding. And here I was worried that my 2-3 cans a month might be catching up to me!
Iced tea, cordials, alcoholic beverages, gelatin/jelly, tabletop sweeteners/coffee/tea, protein shakes and milk drinks, condiments, gums, dessert foods. There is no doubt more I’m missing

You’d basically die from water poisoning before the aspertame would get you.
What about all the other foods and drinks that contain it?
I’ve only ever seen aspartame in the ingredient list of diet sodas, and I often check ingredient lists.
It’s also used in gum, not sure how much though.
I feel like you’d give yourself the gum chewer’s equivalent of wanker’s cramp before you even got halfway to the daily limit.
Compared to diet soda, it should be very little. Otherwise it would be extremely sweet.

I drink about a can per day and I was so worried. lol
Maybe if you are very, very, very little.
well that settles it, I am going to treat myself without worrying anymore.
