About these substances
Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.
Aspartame is an artificial sweetener used to add sweetness to foods and drinks without the calories of sugar. You might know it by brand names like Nutrasweet or the European food additive number E951. It is found in diet sodas, sugar-free gum, yogurt, and many other low-calorie or no-sugar products. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified aspartame as Group 2B, which means it is "possibly carcinogenic to humans." This classification is based on limited evidence from studies in humans and animals, but it does not mean that aspartame definitely causes cancer—it means there is some evidence that needs more research. IARC's evaluation comes from its Monographs program, which reviews scientific data on potential cancer risks. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative.
