WHO to Declare Common Food & Drink Ingredient “Possible Carcinogen”

The World Health Organization is set to declare aspartame, an artificial sweetener used in thousands of products, a “possible carcinogen.”

How long has the global health body known about the negative health effects caused by aspartame?

My guess is quite a while and it couldn’t be avoided any longer.

Aspartame is just one of many toxins found in manufactured, processed items modern-day grocery stores have on the shelves.

The negative health effects linked to aspartame have been known for decades.

Yet, the WHO finally gets around to saying it’s a “possible carcinogen.”

It’s more evidence that this global organization should cease to exist.

Aspartame sweetener to be declared possible cancer risk by WHO, say reports https://t.co/nQp69FSGth

— The Guardian (@guardian) June 29, 2023

Scientists, on the basis of early testing, were saying aspartame was a carcinogen in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but Donald Rumsfeld, who was CEO of the company that owned Aspartame, became part of the Reagan transition team and got to appoint the new head of the FDA, who… https://t.co/C4asrmOHXU

Reuters reports:

One of the world’s most common artificial sweeteners is set to be declared a possible carcinogen next month by a leading global health body, according to two sources with knowledge of the process, pitting it against the food industry and regulators.

Aspartame, used in products from Coca-Cola diet sodas to Mars’ Extra chewing gum and some Snapple drinks, will be listed in July as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” for the first time by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the World Health Organization’s (WHO) cancer research arm, the sources said.

The IARC ruling, finalised earlier this month after a meeting of the group’s external experts, is intended to assess whether something is a potential hazard or not, based on all the published evidence.

It does not take into account how much of a product a person can safely consume. This advice for individuals comes from a separate WHO expert committee on food additives, known as JECFA (the Joint WHO and Food and Agriculture Organization’s Expert Committee on Food Additives), alongside determinations from national regulators.

However, similar IARC rulings in the past for different substances have raised concerns among consumers about their use, led to lawsuits, and pressured manufacturers to recreate recipes and swap to alternatives. That has led to criticism that the IARC’s assessments can be confusing to the public.

JECFA, the WHO committee on additives, is also reviewing aspartame use this year. Its meeting began at the end of June and it is due to announce its findings on the same day that the IARC makes public its decision – on July 14.

The Guardian added:

Aspartame has been widely used since the 1980s as a table-top sweetener, and in products such as diet fizzy drinks, chewing gum, breakfast cereals and cough drops.

It is authorised for use globally by regulators who have reviewed all the available evidence, and major food and beverage makers have for decades defended their use of it.

The food industry expressed serious concerns about the reports on Thursday.

“IARC is not a food safety body,” said Frances Hunt-Wood, the secretary general of the International Sweeteners Association. “Aspartame is one of the most thoroughly researched ingredients in history, with over 90 food safety agencies across the globe declaring it is safe, including the European Food Safety Authority, which conducted the most comprehensive safety evaluation of aspartame to date.”

The International Council of Beverages Associations executive director, Kate Loatman, suggested the move “could needlessly mislead consumers into consuming more sugar rather than choosing safe no- and low-sugar options”.

There is existing evidence that raises questions about the potential impact of aspartame on cancer risk. A study in France involving about 100,000 adults last year suggested those who consumed larger amounts of artificial sweeteners including aspartame had a slightly higher cancer risk. A study from the Ramazzini Institute in Italy in the early 2000s reported that some cancers in mice and rats were linked to aspartame.

“Dozens of studies have linked the popular artificial sweetener aspartame to serious health problems, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, seizures, stroke and dementia, as well as negative effects such as intestinal dysbiosis, mood disorders, headaches and migraines,” U.S. Right to Know, a nonprofit investigative public health research and journalism group, states.

U.S. Right to Know reports:

A large 2022 cohort study in PLOS Medicine, involving 102,865 French adults, found that artificial sweeteners — especially aspartame and acesulfame-K — were associated with increased cancer risk. Higher risks were observed for breast cancer and obesity-related cancers. “These findings provide important and novel insights for the ongoing re-evaluation of food additive sweeteners by the European Food Safety Authority and other health agencies globally,” the researchers wrote.

“Study suggests association between consuming artificial sweeteners and increased cancer risk,” Science Daily (3.24.2022)

Three lifespan studies conducted by the Cesare Maltoni Cancer Research Center of the Ramazzini Institute, provide consistent evidence of carcinogenicity in rodents exposed to the substance.

Aspartame “is a multipotential carcinogenic agent, even at a daily dose of … much less than the current acceptable daily intake,” according to a 2006 lifespan rat study in Environmental Health Perspectives.
A follow-up study in 2007 found significant dose-related increases in malignant tumors in some of the rats. “The results … confirm and reinforce the first experimental demonstration of [aspartame’s] multipotential carcinogenicity at a dose level close to the acceptable daily intake for humans … when life-span exposure begins during fetal life, its carcinogenic effects are increased,” the researchers wrote in Environmental Health Perspectives.

The results of a 2010 lifespan study “confirm that [aspartame] is a carcinogenic agent in multiple sites in rodents, and that this effect is induced in two species, rats (males and females) and mice (males),” the researchers reported in American Journal of Industrial Medicine.

In a 2021 review of the Ramazzini Institute data, researchers at Boston College validated the conclusions of the Ramazzini studies. See, “Aspartame and cancer — new evidence of causation,” Environmental Health. The findings, “confirm that aspartame is a chemical carcinogen in rodents. They confirm the very worrisome finding that prenatal exposure to aspartame increases cancer risk in rodent offspring.”

A 2023 study by the Ramazzini Institute in the Annals of Global Health reports on all the detailed haemolymphoreticular neoplasias (HLRN) diagnoses of the Ramazzini Institute rats and mice studies on aspartame and the related statistics. Results from the post-natal bioassay on Sprague-Dawley rats (BT6008) showed statistically significant increases in lymphomas (all types) (MM, FF), leukemias (all types) (FF), immunoblastic lymphomas (MM, FF), total lymphoid tumours (MM, FF), monocytic leukemia (FF), myeloid leukemia (FF), histiocytic sarcoma (FF), and total myeloid tumours (FF). Prenatal experiment on SD rats (BT6009), showed statistically significant increases in lymphomas (all types) (FF), leukemias (all types) (FF), total lymphoid tumours (FF), myeloid leukemia (FF), and total myeloid tumours (FF). Prenatal bioassay on Swiss mice (BT6010) showed statistically significant increases in leukemias (all types) (MM, FF), lymphoblastic leukemia (MM, FF), monocytic leukemia (MM) and total myeloid tumours (MM). “Our analyses … confirm and reinforce our previous findings of statistically significant increases of HLRNs in rodents exposed to (aspartame).”

Harvard researchers in 2012 reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition a positive association between aspartame intake and increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and multiple myeloma in men, and for leukemia in men and women. The findings “preserve the possibility of a detrimental effect … on select cancers” but “do not permit the ruling out of chance as an explanation,” the researchers wrote

In a 2014 commentary in American Journal of Industrial Medicine, the Maltoni Center researchers wrote that the studies submitted by G. D. Searle for market approval “do not provide adequate scientific support for [aspartame’s] safety. In contrast, recent results of life-span carcinogenicity bioassays on rats and mice published in peer-reviewed journals, and a prospective epidemiological study, provide consistent evidence of [aspartame’s] carcinogenic potential. On the basis of the evidence of the potential carcinogenic effects … a re-evaluation of the current position of international regulatory agencies must be considered an urgent matter of public health.”

Want to stop eating toxic chemicals?

Cancer-causing chemicals?

Maybe that’s why….

Over 70,000 People Now Want To “Make The Switch”…Are You In?

Noah here and I want to know if you’re ready to “Make The Switch”?

What does that mean?

I’m glad you asked!

It means getting free from toxic chemicals…

Free from poison food that is killing you…and your kids….

Free from Big Companies who hate you….

Free from toxic Aspartame…

Free from Flouride…

Free from antibiotics and mRNA in your Beef…

Free from the coming Lab Grown Beef that’s showing up on your grocery store shelves NOW!

Any of that sound good to you?

Oh, it also means creating our own parallel economy and saving this Country from people hell-bent on destroying it!

Because pretty soon, if we don’t succeed, they are going to literally “delete” you.

Think being thrown in “Facebook Jail” is bad?

I bet we’ve all been there.

The 24 ban.

The 7 day ban.

The 30 day ban.

The permanent deletion.

I’ve experienced them all.

In fact, I once had a community of 1.5 MILLION people on Facebook, probably including much of you, in my WeLoveTrump community.  

I did nothing wrong of course, but one day Mark Zuckerberg decided he didn’t think we should exist….and POOF: I was gone.

Deleted.

Wiped out.

That’s bad, but here’s what’s coming next if we don’t build the Parallel Economy.

Next time, instead of just getting thrown in Facebook Jail, you’ll be banned from the grocery store, not even allowed to go in — just like I was no longer allowed to log on to Facebook.

Or…they’ll let you in to the store only to have all of your credit cards shut off by the banks.

That’s coming folks, and it’s just right around the corner.

Which is why I’m on my new mission.

To fight back with our dollars…

To support companies that are Made In America and actually LIKE Americans!

Pro-American…

Pro-Freedom…

Pro-Liberty…

And happy to do business with Conservatives!

It’s absurd we even have to build this “Parallel Economy”….but we do.

After credit card processors, online stores, retail stores (like Bed. Bath & Beyond) and so many other places have CANCELLED conservatives just because they don’t like us, it’s become abundantly clear that we have to create a PARALLEL Economy if we want to survive.

I always figured I might have to do it all by myself starting from scratch, and then to my shock I found a company already doing it!

Not only that, but they’ve been doing it for over 35 years!

They’re American made, American manufactured, American warehouses, and American shipped.

In fact, their founder was placed on Barack Obama’s “Most Dangerous Conservatives” list.

Once I found out those details, I knew I’d found the right place!

So….why haven’t you heard of them?

Because they do ZERO advertising.

They stay off the radar.

Everything is personal invitations only.

That’s how they keep out the bad actors.

But now that I’m working with them, I can get you in….and we can change the world together!

I can’t promise you you’re get a call immediately, but I can promise to get you in the queue!

In fact, since starting this mission in February, I’ve connected with over 70,000 people who have raised their hand and said they want to get in!

Wow!

So many people responding and saying they want to join us on that mission.

And I love it!

The only problem is I have a small team and after my post last night we are totally overwhelmed!

I warned you all this may happen….

I kind of expected it….

And it is AWESOME!

But it just means we may be a little slower to get back to you with your personal “white glove” concierge reply!

We will get there, we just have a huge backlog!

So please bear with me, ok?

When I started this website back in 2015 I started it because I was on a mission…

I wanted to get the truth out to as many people as possible.

The truth that wasn’t being covered anywhere else.

I started with literally 0.

Zero experience…

Zero money…

Zero backers…

Zero readers…

Zero of any of you!

Along the way, we’ve built a massive community of people who love America and want to see our country become great again.

We now average between 4 and 6 million readers EACH MONTH!

And we’re growing again, pretty quickly.

More importantly, the MISSION is growing!

But we’ve also faced major opposition.

Oh it hasn’t been easy by any stretch of the imagination.

We were DELETED from Facebook after having 1.5 million people Follow and Love our Page!

Just poof….one day, gone!

We’ve been censored on almost every platform out there, emails sent to Junk or just “disappeared” despite people signing up over and over.

Speaking of email, we’ve had two email companies ban us because they went Far-Left.
