päätyi toteamaan, että makeutusaine aspartaami on karsinogeeni:
"... The results of this mega-experiment indicate that APM is a
multipotential carcinogenic agent, even at a daily dose of 20
mg/kg body weight, much less than the current acceptable daily
intake. On the basis of these results, a reevaluation of the
present guidelines on the use and consumption of APM is urgent
and cannot be delayed ..."

"... Aspartame is sold under the brand names Nutra-Sweet and
Equal and is found in such popular products as Diet Coke, Diet
Pepsi, Diet Snapple and Sugar Free Kool-Aid. Hundreds of
millions of people consume it worldwide. And Dr. Soffritti's
study concluded that aspartame may cause the dreaded "c" word:
cancer.
The research found that the sweetener was associated with
unusually high rates of lymphomas, leukemias and other cancers
in rats that had been given doses of it starting at what would
be equivalent to four to five 20-ounce bottles of diet soda a
day for a 150-pound person. The study, which involved 1,900
laboratory rats and cost $1 million, was conducted at the
European Ramazzini Foundation of Oncology and Environmental
Sciences, a nonprofit organization that studies cancer-causing
substances; Dr. Soffritti is its scientific director. ..."

Mielenkiintoista sinänsä saada taas jotain tutkimustietoa tästä ikuisuusväittelyn aiheesta - itse käytän suht suruttomasti (vaikkakin määrällisesti merkittävästi max suosituksia vähemmän) aspartaamituotteita, ja olen monesti tuominnut niiden väitetyt terveyshaitat samalla torvella toitottaen kuin muutkin, eli sokeriteollisuuden propagandana jne.
