The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is set to classify aspartame, a widely used artificial sweetener, as a possible carcinogen. After years of conflicting research, the IARC is expected to make the declaration on July 14. Aspartame, which is 200 times sweeter than regular sugar, is commonly found in lowcalorie food and beverages such as Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi. Despite containing calories, it is used in smaller amounts due to its high sweetness. Stay tuned for the latest updates on this important classification.
