The World Health Organization has finally gotten around to declaring the popular artificial sweetener aspartame a potential carcinogen.[1] I warned about aspartame’s cancer-causing potential on my site over 25 years ago, in my best-selling book, “Sweet Deception: Why Splenda, NutraSweet, and the FDA May Be Hazardous to Your Health,” in 2006, and in an article I wrote for The Huffington Post.[2] It’s since been deleted—but you can see just how long this danger has been known.
