Do Artificial Sweeteners Cause Cancer? Diet soda, yogurt?

Question

The ingredient Aspartame is in diet soda and yogurt amoung other things to make it a "NO CALORIE". does it cause cancer?
If so how do we avoid it- if were trying to be healthy and eat low calorie foods??
i love light yogurt! now i am scared? what do i eat???

Answer 1

Yes. Anything which contains aspartame is likely to cause cancer.
If you need to sweeten something without using sugar, then use stevis, a herb which is far sweeter than sugar.
You can boil it in a little water, and then use the sweetened water.

If you want to eat heaslthily, then eat fresh fruit and vegetables. Any processed foods should be avoided, because they contain artifcial preservatives, flavourings and colourings which are toxic. Anything which comes in a packet or tin is likely to be unhealthy.

Answer 2

You don't have to eat low calorie foods to be healthy, try cooking foods from scratch yourself then you can know whats in them and if you like yogurt buy natural yogurt and add you own fruit.

Answer 3

I wouldn't worry about it because everything causes cancer now a days. Just breathing the air causes cancer. The amount of chemicals given to the mice that they test is like you drinking 500 diet drinks every day. You worry to much!

Answer 4

see plastic cover usage, cellphone usage itself seems to cause cancer.but still we are using them. so dont care about artificial sweeteners usage. use them.only way to prevent cancer in your body is build up anticancer immunity by eating fruits containing antioxidants like vitamin c particularly orange,citrus.I even advice you to take diet rich in fiber such as green leafy vegetables
