LONDON (Reuters) -The sweetener aspartame is a "possible carcinogen" but it remains safe to consume at already-agreed levels, two groups linked to the World Health Organization (WHO) declared on Friday. Aspartame is one of the world's most popular sweeteners, used in products from Coca-Cola diet sodas to Mars' Extra chewing gum. In a press conference ahead of the announcement, the WHO's head of nutrition, Francesco Branca, suggested consumers weighing beverage choices consider neither aspartame nor sweetener.
