The World Health Organization’s cancer research committee is set to add aspartame, the artificial sweetener used in many diet beverages including Diet Coke, to the list of possible carcinogens. Naturally, this news is the nightmare of thousands of Diet Coke fanatics.

diet coke may cause cancer? you mean the mysteriously sweet yet calorie-free, tar-black beverage with flavors not based in nature isn't...organic

“Diet Coke might give you cancer” bro SCOTUS is one bathroom break away from criminalizing not wearing a red white and blue Old Navy t-shirt on July 4

they will fill your head with deceptions, poison your ears with their silver tongues as they wail ‘ASPARTAME IS CARCINOGENIC’ - but the real cancer is in the soul of she who can’t enjoy a little diet coke. the cancer of joy’s absence & whimsy-void….

The Joint WHO and Food and Agriculture Organization’s Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), previously made recommendations on aspartame saying a regular adult would need to drink 12 to 36 cans of soda with aspartame a day to be harmful. Though, JECFA will be publishing new findings pertaining to aspartame.

So many things can and will kill us in this world. Honestly, just look outside. For some Diet Coke is their only refuge in a deeply dark world.
