Food additives like artificial sweeteners are relentlessly tested by health authorities, researchers, independent labs and activist scientists (while we rarely examine natural food products for the same health risks). After three decades of intense scrutiny, aspartame has continuously been declared as safe for human consumption by all national regulatory agencies and EFSA.As it is a chemical used by large corporations in the food industry, it has attracted the unending ire of activist zealots who have (rather unreasonably) devoted their lives to spreading fear and disinformation on aspartame.

After three decades, their time is now.Only one little problem… The IARC Monograph 134 on aspartame is illegitimate.
