    Not cancerous whatsoever. It’s approved for use worldwide and it’s one of the most studied additives on the planet.

    It has been massively consumed worldwide for many decades, without causing any statistically noticeable increase in cancer rates.

    Considering the incredibly negative health impact of sugary drinks, artificial sweeteners probably prevented millions of deaths over the decades they have been used.
