The World Health Organisation on Thursday classified non-sugar sweetener Aspartame as a possible carcinogen and said it is safe to have it with a daily intake of 40 milligrams per kilogram of a person's body weight.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) released the assessments of the aspartame.
"Citing "limited evidence" for carcinogenicity in humans, IARC classified aspartame as possibly carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 2B) and JECFA reaffirmed the acceptable daily intake of 40 mg/kg body weight," the WHO said in a statement.
