Filed in archive News , Studies by Gloria Gamat on May 8, 2006

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) just released that the artificial sweetener aspartame is not linked to cancer contradicting a study published in 2005 that aspartame is carcinogenic.

It also said the diagnoses of some of the cases of malignant schwannomas (a rare type of tumour) had not been confirmed by other scientific institutions, and that the sweetener showed no evidence of genotoxity - the ability to damage DNA.

"On the basis of the evidence," said Dr Pratt, "there is no reason to revise the previously established Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) or to undertake any further revisions of the safety of aspartame."
The ADI is the level of additive considered to be safe if consumed every day over a lifetime without risk to health.
