Does Diet Coke Give You Cancer?
Of the various artificial sweeteners on the market, aspartame is perhaps one of the most problematic. At least it has the most reported adverse effects. In fact, aspartame is the number one source of side-effect complaints to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with over 10,000 complaints filed and over 91 symptoms documented that are related to its consumption.
Besides that, there’s been persistent suspicions that aspartame may contribute to the development of more serious diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s, among others.
According to Dr. Russell Blaylock, a retired neurosurgeon who has written three books about the health dangers of excitotoxins (which includes aspartame and MSG), Dr. Adrian Gross, the FDA’s toxicologist who examined the aspartame research initially presented to the FDA for approval by G.D. Searle, was “absolutely shocked” at the evidence showing “an enormous increase in tumors, particularly brain tumors.”
More recently, a lifetime feeding study published in 2010 found that aspartame induced cancers of the liver and lung in male mice. It was also carcinogenic in male and female rats. Another study of great importance was published just last year. It’s the most comprehensive and longest human study— spanning 22 years — that has ever looked at aspartame toxicity. The study evaluated the effect between aspartame intake and cancer, and they found a clear association between aspartame consumption and non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and leukemia.
