"Though it may seem as news to some readers, Aspartame has been a known carcinogen for quite some time."
yes- I was surprised to see this subject heading posed as a question. I thought this was very old news indeed. I expect that sometimes down the line we'll be hearing about all the products now labeled as "stevia" and "all-natural". Point being, any kind of manipulation/isolation/reduction that has as its motivation mega-production of what might otherwise be 'a good thing', is bound to be vibtrating at a low frequency- hence, carcinagenic.
Sadly, we are so far away from the good thing of natural sugar- aka tree-ripened non-gm'd fruit, that hoardes of (sick) people actually fear it!
