WHO's cancer research agency to say aspartame sweetener a possible carcinogen: Sources

The artificial sweetener aspartame is set to be declared a possible carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a division of the World Health Organization (WHO). The IARC ruling, which is expected to be announced next month, is based on an assessment of all published evidence on the sweetener's potential hazard. The decision could have significant implications for the food industry and may lead to debates over the safety of sweeteners and the role of the IARC.
