Abstract in brief

  • The text discusses concerns about the safety of aspartame (APM), an artificial sweetener used since the 1980s, highlighting debates over whether it might cause cancer and the need for stricter regulation.
  • It critiques the early animal studies submitted for approval, suggesting they were not sufficient to clearly establish safety, and points to more recent research and epidemiological data that indicate a potential cancer risk.
  • The European Commission has called for a urgent reexamination of aspartame’s safety by scientific authorities, emphasizing that current regulations may need serious revision to protect public health.

@Ruu_chan123 @Czyzby5 @Figovskyy Więcej stosuje się syropu glukozowo-fruktozowego. Jeżeli chodzi o aspartam niestety jest bardzo wysokie prawdopodobieństwo, że się mylisz. Jeden z najbardziej merytorycznych polskich lekarzy: https://t.co/OP3lv7xKq6
