Is Coke Zero also carcinogenic?
Just heard the news about Diet Coke. I drink about two cans a day and I feel devastated. Is it safe to switch to Coke Zero?

James Wong, a science writer, shared a Tweet which read: “According to the WHO aspartame is as carcinogenic as aloe vera and pickled veg. And less carcinogenic than eating red meat, drinking hot drinks, or being a hairdresser.”
“It’s rather like reporting an earthquake measuring 2 on the Richter scale hit a major city, without explaining that earthquakes of 2.5 or less are rarely felt, but can be measured on a seismograph,” he added.
Brilliant explanation that I wish I could upvote more. Media isn't reporting the severity of how carcinogenic it is, which is negligible. It's sensationalism. Aspartame isn't going to kill you.
“It just tastes like it would give you cancer.” He added.
