ImpactHigh impact

The discussions suggest the findings could significantly influence consumer choices and regulatory policies regarding aspartame, indicating high perceived impact.

Abstract in brief

  • The study found that aspartame (APM), when given to male Swiss mice from prenatal stages through their lifespan, increased the risk of liver (hepatocellular) and lung (alveolar-bronchiolar) cancers in a dose-dependent manner, but no cancer effects were observed in female mice.
  • Previous research on rats showed similar carcinogenic effects of aspartame across multiple body sites, especially when exposure started prenatally, suggesting that early exposure heightens cancer risk.
  • The findings support that aspartame is carcinogenic in multiple rodent species, particularly in males, highlighting potential health risks associated with long-term consumption beginning during early developmental stages.
