The sweetener aspartame may be carcinogenic, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). Aspartame is found in many sweet drinks, yoghurts and chewing gum. Why you still don't need to panic.
How risky is aspartame really?
Can I no longer consume products containing aspartame?
So there are alternatives to aspartame?
Yes, there are. Stevia, erythritol and xylitol are some of them. However, stevia is also considered questionable in some cases as it can trigger allergies.
Why doesn't the WHO ban aspartame?

Simon.Balissat@digitecgalaxus.chWhen I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
