Exclusive: WHO's cancer research agency to say aspartame sweetener a possible carcinogen

They go through this all the time. I remember 20 years ago they said that washing up liquid "may" cause cancer too, but the products haven't changed.

I think the main thing we get out of these studies, is no-one still really knows what causes most cancers.

We just don’t know. But cancer rates have gone up. Diet is a key change.

Without any proof whatsoever, just a hunch, I reckon it'll end up being the plastics in our food that end up being the cause of higher cancer rates.
