Aspartame is about to be proclaimed by the WHO as a possible carcinogen. What makes this any different from beer and wine, which are known to be carcinogenic already?

Question

Obviously, alcoholic drinks present other dangers (driving drunk, alcoholism), but my question is specifically related to the cancer-causing nature of aspartame-sweetend soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, comparatively.

Answer 1

What do you mean what makes this different?

How bout the fact that it could be carcinogenic but was never labeled as such.

Big difference between being labeled and informing the consumer and not.

Believe it or not some people choose to consume alcohol in extremely limited quantities or not at all partially because of the cancer risks.
