Does Aspartme (Ingredient in Equal/Splenda) cause cancer?

Q: I don’t use real sugar. I often use equal/splenda in moderation. So I saw a commercial for Sun Crystals. Supposedly all natural sweetener w/ only 5 calories in a packet. My question is does Aspartme really cause cancer? I know it can’t be good for you. Is sun crystals a way better choice?https://www.suncrystals.com/

A: There is no clinical scientific evidence that aspartame causes cancer or increases the risk of cancer:http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/AspartameQandAhttp://www.cancer.org/docroot/ped/content/ped_1_3x_aspartame.aspThere have been links found between excessive aspartame intake and increased risk of cancer in rats.The dosages were the equivalent of 8 cans of diet soda a day – every day, before any difference in cancer risk was found.There have been no confirming studies in humans.That said, I’m certainly not claiming it as a health food; if someone really must drink soda, for example, the non-diet type is probably marginally less unhealthy.Nobody knows what causes cancer, the finest medical minds in the world don’t know; so when someone says ‘———————-’causes cancer’, you know they are repeating rumour, hearsay and half (at best) truths.
