The WHO noted there’s “limited evidence” that aspartame can cause cancer and listed the sweetener as a Class 2B carcinogen, which includes Asian pickled vegetables, gasoline engine exhaust fumes, lead and talc-based body powder.

Preferably drink less than 15 diet soda cans per day, and definitely cut back on meat.
“Your overall diet is more important than individual foods or ingredients for reducing cancer risk. So, aim to eat a healthy, balanced diet, with more fruit, veg and wholegrains, and cut back on red and processed meats and foods high in fat, sugar and salt.
