I love the discussion here as to possible reasons why the labeling is different.
That said, there’s a very good chance it’s just because the initial version had 3, got translated, then someone added a 4th item and it never got translated.
The WHO is declaring it a possible carcinogen. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/whos-cancer-research-agency-say-aspartame-sweetener-possible-carcinogen-sources-2023-06-29/
Edit: also, telling someone they should feel bad and stupid (along with the other language you used) is a bit rough for a discussion on artificial sweeteners. Especially as OP cited the source, made it clear they had no direct knowledge of the situation, and–it turns out–a major health body has cited potential dangers.
This is a good opportunity for us to be a little more civil.
Don’t be too stressed. They’ve demonstrated that time arises from matter. From “outside,” our universe is like a giant book, and time is like pages. Everything that ever was or will be is there. We just can’t can’t perceive it that way since we’re trapped inside.
I think the WHO has slightly more credibility than any random Lenny user.
And no, your attitude is not called for. There’s a legitimate body that had called the safety of aspartame into question. Whether it meets your standards is personal. But it’s poor form to attack others for citing credible sources (a chemistry teacher is worth following up on for chem matters, which, in this case–again–led directly to a statement by the WHO).
You have simultaneously said it’s both been studied excessively and acknowledged the WHO has said it needs more study.
Rando vs WHO. WHO wins. Aspartame may be dangerous. And, incidentally, so may working as a dry cleaner. Which seems like a good warning to put out there. Thank you angry, rude person trolling this thread.
Edit: just googled “cancer rates among dry cleaners” and wow… it seems a number of studies have demonstrated elevated cancer rates among dry cleaners. Here are a couple:
Sweden study
St Louis study
