Webmaster's Home (ChinaZ.com) News on July 17: Recently, the World Health Organization listed aspartame as a possible carcinogen, which has aroused people's concern about the safety of aspartame. Although there are certain risks, ordinary people do not need to worry too much. Health effects are only possible if daily intake of aspartame exceeds safe limits.
Tesla CEO Musk said in response to news that the FDA considered aspartame safe, he would have died if aspartame was dangerous. In fact, the carcinogenic risk of aspartame is not high, and it will not cause too much harm to the human body under normal use.
According to the World Health Organization, a daily intake of 40mg of aspartame per 1kg of body weight is safe. That means an average adult would need to drink 9 to 14 cans of soda containing aspartame a day to exceed this safe limit and potentially face health risks. However, this amount is almost completely out of reach of normal people.
Musk has often said he likes to drink Diet Coke and doesn't care if the drink lowers his life expectancy. Although long-term excessive consumption of aspartame-containing beverages may increase health risks, as long as it is consumed in moderation, it will not cause too much impact on the human body.
