      We don’t. It’s been studied for decades and all they could come up with was that “in massive quantities it’s possible it might cause cancer”. Which is shit. Everything in massive quantities breaks something.

        It’s not recommended to intake more than 40mg per day per kilo of body weight. For a kid that could be two cans of coke.

        I hope no one is giving their kid two cans of coke in a day, but I bet you a thousand pounds that they are.

        That WHO study is highly problematic. It has some fairly serious methodological flaws. It’s been disputed by the FDA. It is biased due to the panel comprising:

        eight WHO panelists involved with assessing safe levels of aspartame consumption who are beverage industry consultants who currently or previously worked with the alleged Coke front group, International Life Sciences Institute (Ilsi).
