RESPONSE: Are the above weblinks mainstream news or medical websites?? I
doubt.
Coca-Cola [1] themselves admit to using aspartame [2]. Does Coca-cola
intentionally and knowingly include known carcinogens in their
products?? And the FDA is not stepping in??
Perhaps, sometime in the future, the relationship between aspartame and
cancer may be established just like bisphenol A [3]. But not yet.
I would caution against distributing such unfounded information to anybody.
