The World Health Organization's International Research Agency on Cancer (IARC)'s assessment of the health impact of aspartame came out on Friday. The results confirmed that aspartame is a potential carcinogen. This artificial sweetener is often found in Diet Coke, gelatin-based products, and sugar-free foods like sugar-free gum. However, they also reassured that it is safe for individuals when consumed within the recommended daily limit.
