      This isn’t a real thing, just as a heads up. It’s just an oft repeat “fact”, similar to “you eat dozens of spiders in your sleep every year.”

      The concern here is whether aspartame will possibly cause cancer, and whether it has been tested extensively enough for it to be deemed safe for consumption.
