'Q: Is aspartame safe?
A: Yes. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has concluded that aspartame is safe for the general public, including diabetics, pregnant and nursing women, and children. A small segment of the population - those people with a rare hereditary disease called phenylketonuria (PKU) - are advised not to consume products with aspartame; consequently, all products sweetened with aspartame are clearly labeled.
The safety of aspartame has been affirmed not only by the FDA, but also by leading independent health groups such as the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Diabetes Association, The Epilepsy Institute, and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Moreover, FDA has reaffirmed the safety of aspartame 26 times over a period of 23 years.
Aspartame is one of the most thoroughly studied ingredients in the food supply. It was tested in more than 100 scientific studies prior to its approval by the FDA in 1981. These tests were conducted in animals and humans, including normal adults and children, lactating women and persons with diabetes, obesity and special genetic conditions. Aspartame was tested in amounts many times higher than individuals could consume in the diet. Aspartame has also undergone extensive safety and toxicology testing including three two year bioassays in animals for cancer. One of these was a bioassay in pregnant rats and their offspring. In these tests it was clearly shown that aspartame is not carcinogenic and does not cause cancer.'
