Actually, just Ed lied.

Aspartame linked to cancer.

"Abstract
The Cesare Maltoni Cancer Research Center of the European Ramazzini
Foundation has conducted a long-term bioassay on aspartame (APM) , a
widely used artificial sweetener. APM was administered with feed to
8-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats (100-150/sex/group) , at concentrations
of 100,000, 50,000, 10,000, 2,000, 400, 80, or 0 ppm. The treatment
lasted until natural death, at which time all deceased animals
underwent complete necropsy. Histopathologic evaluation of all
pathologic lesions and of all organs and tissues collected was
routinely performed on each animal of all experimental groups. The
results of the study show for the first time that APM, in our
experimental conditions, causes a) an increased incidence of
malignant-tumor-bearing animals with a positive significant trend in
males (p = 0.05) and in females (p = 0.01) , in particular those
females treated at 50,000 ppm (p = 0.01) ; b) an increase in
lymphomas and leukemias with a positive significant trend in both males
(p = 0.05) and females (p = 0.01) , in particular in females
treated at doses of 100,000 (p = 0.01) , 50,000 (p = 0.01) , 10,000
(p = 0.05) , 2,000 (p = 0.05) , or 400 ppm (p = 0.01) ; c) a
statistically significant increased incidence, with a positive
significant trend (p = 0.01) , of transitional cell carcinomas of the
renal pelvis and ureter and their precursors (dysplasias) in females
treated at 100,000 (p = 0.01) , 50,000 (p = 0.01) , 10,000 (p =
0.01) , 2,000 (p = 0.05) , or 400 ppm (p = 0.05) ; and d) an
increased incidence of malignant schwannomas of peripheral nerves with
a positive trend (p = 0.05) in males. 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. Key words: artificial sweetener,
aspartame, carcinogenicity, lymphomas, malignant schwannomas, rats,

just Ed replied:

I think we have a winner.
That must at least place in the list of all-time stupidest
comments ever posted in a newsgroup.

No, I didn't attack him. I said his comment was stupid.
