We read today on NBCNews.com, a “new study finding a potential cancer risk from the artificial sweetener aspartame is so weak that Brigham and Women’s Hospital -- a Harvard teaching facility -- is now apologizing for promoting the research.”

The column went on, “In other words, if you see a headline screaming, “Aspartame linked to cancer,” don’t believe it.”

The fact is: Aspartame, which is an ingredient found in many beverages as well as thousands of foods, has been deemed safe for decades by the world’s leading toxicologists, as well as the National Cancer Institute and other regulatory agencies and public health experts around the world.  Read our full statement on the study by clicking here.
