They've been saying aspartame is carcinogenic for decades now. If further research is needed, then why are food producers still able to use it? Seems to me like if they suspect that it's carcinogenic, that it should be restricted until they can prove it's safe for consumption.
Thing is, "they" (scientists) haven't. The general public just kind of assume it is because "unnatural". Study after study has not shown any effect, with this study being notable mainly because it does.
