It uncovered eight WHO panelists involved with assessing safe levels of aspartame consumption who are beverage industry consultants who currently or previously worked with the alleged Coke front group, International Life Sciences Institute (Ilsi).

Their involvement in developing intake guidelines represents “an obvious conflict of interest”, said Gary Ruskin, US Right-To-Know’s executive director. “Because of this conflict of interest, [the daily intake] conclusions about aspartame are not credible, and the public should not rely on them,” he added.

    No matter what they say, i’ll assume aspartamine is poison and refuse to eat anything that has it.

      I think the same thing about everything! Never believe anything that doesn’t align with my personal beliefs no matter how much evidence exists to the contrary!

        I just dont want to risk it, because i’ll be the only one who faces the consequences if it causes cancer after all. It also tastes awful anyway, i’d rather drink completely unsweetened drinks.
