[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 2285418, member: 223921"] Depends a lot I suppose on who the "They" are that you take notice of. " "Sweetener linked to cancer is safe to use," reports the Mail Online. Aspartame – a commonly used artificial sweetener – has been dogged by controversy, despite being deemed safe by food regulators in the UK, EU and US. Some believe they are sensitive to the sweetener. Anecdotal reports suggest it can cause headaches and stomach upsets. This study recruited 48 "aspartame-sensitive" individuals and tested whether giving them a cereal bar with or without aspartame would elicit the suspect symptoms. The study was a gold-standard double blind randomised controlled trial (RCT), meaning neither the participants nor those analysing the results knew which bar they had eaten. This made it a fairer and more rigorous test. It showed that there was no difference in the symptoms reported after eating the aspartame-laced bar compared with the normal bar."
