    That whole thing turned out to be a nothingburger. The report said that if you drink like 9 cans of diet soda it could possibly cause cancer. If you’re drinking 9 cans of diet soda a day aspartame is the least of your problems.

      My wife has been telling me for years that research was still ongoing about aspartame being potentially carcinogenic, so I should be careful with my at most one diet soda a day. When the news first came up that the WHO was about to classify it as such, I was like “oh shit, it’s happening?”

      And then the details came a few days later, and I couldn’t stop laughing about it. 😆
