Why take action?
Aspartame is an artificial sweetener used to replace sugar in many low-calorie or sugar-free products. It has been classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. It has also been linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Several studies show that it has no positive effect on weight and may even contribute to long-term weight gain.
Given these unacceptable risks, it’s time to take action.
Yuka is calling on you to ban the additive aspartame/E 951 in food and beverages within the EU.
