BBC NEWS | Health | Sweetener 'linked' to leukaemias

Personally, I doubt I will change any behavior as a result of only one study (especially given the track record of medical studies), I will be watching for more evidence. Stay tuned.

BBC NEWS | Health | Sweetener 'linked' to leukaemias:

"Dr Morando Soffritti and colleagues at the Cancer Research Centre in Bologna fed eight-week-old rats varying concentrations of aspartame.

Compared with control rats given no sweetener, many of the female rats in the experiment developed lymphomas or leukaemias - the risk increasing with the dose of aspartame.

The researchers say their study raises concerns about the levels of aspartame to which humans can be exposed"
