Aspartame is safe in limited amounts, say experts after cancer warning

So maybe the huge worry people had after the news that WHO would classify it as cancerous was a little too much. I think the media could have reported on it in a bit more responsible way.

Up to 14 cans is technically limited but I don't think that limit is relevant for the average person. Or what do the Americans say?
14 cans is like 4.62 liters, which is more than what an average person needs in water per day.
If your drinking 4.5 liters of pop a day, cancer is not on the radar. Plenty of stuff that will kill you first.
I'm in the US. I've never know anyone to drink that much soda, aside from some clients with severe mental illness. One of my clients damaged her kidneys to the brink of failure from drinking such absurd amounts of soda every day.. It's not just the sugar to worry about, but all that carbonation.... It's bad for the kidneys.
I'm not trying to imply that people drinking that much soda are mentally ill, but rather that it is a dysfunctional behavior.
My first thought was my teeth would be brittle as chalk from all that soda
Most my clients had dentures. Self-care and severe mental illness are often in conflict.. While most of my clients were aged between mid 20s to early 50s, most had dentures or failing teeth in need of dentures.
