Aspartame: Once more unto the breach

After the WHO communication regarding aspartame being potentially linked to cancer (https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/30/health/health-effects-of-aspartame/index.html) I've been seeing a lot of knee jerk reactions from people thinking they need to avoid it. This blog post has a very good walkthrough of the issue, which is a good counter balance to read. IMO, the WHO is using poor judgement, by causing disproportionate fear over an issue that has a very clear scientific consensus, backed by a large body of evidence.
