Is there any relationship between Aspartame (Sugar Free Gold) and cancer or brain tumors?
No. Aspartame (Sugar Free Gold) does not cause cancer according to the American Cancer Society, the FDA and the National Cancer Institute. Before the 1981 FDA approval of Aspartame (Sugar Free Gold), it was extensively evaluated in four long-term and 9 lifetime studies in rodents which received enormous doses of Aspartame (Sugar Free Gold), equal to the amount of Aspartame (Sugar Free Gold) in more than 1,000 cans of diet soft drink daily over a lifetime. There was no increase in brain tumors or any other type of cancer. When Aspartame (Sugar Free Gold) is digested, the body breaks it down into its components, aspartic acid, phenylalanine and methanol, which are consumed in much greater amounts in common foods, such as milk, meat, dried beans, fruits and vegetables. The body handles the components from Aspartame (Sugar Free Gold) in the same way it handles them when derived from other foods. Aspartame (Sugar Free Gold) does not enter the bloodstream and therefore cannot travel to essen
