Monsanto’s Diet Sweetener Aspartame Linked To Leukemia &
Lymphoma In Landmark Study On Humans
As
few as one diet soda daily may increase the risk for leukemia
in men and women, and for multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma in men, according to new
results from the longest-ever running study on aspartame
as a carcinogen in humans. Importantly, this is the most comprehensive,
long-term study ever completed on this topic, so it holds more weight than
other past studies which appeared to show no risk. And disturbingly, it may
also open the door for further similar findings on other cancers in
future studies.
The most thorough
study yet on aspartame – Over two million person-years
For
this study, researchers prospectively analyzed data from the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health
Professionals Follow-Up Study for a 22-year period. A total of 77,218 women and
47,810 men were included in the analysis, for a total of 2,278,396 person-years
of data. Apart from sheer size, what makes this study superior to other past
studies is the thoroughness with which aspartame intake was assessed.
Every
two years, participants were given a detailed dietary questionnaire, and their
diets were reassessed every four years. Previous studies which found no link to
cancer only ever assessed participants’ aspartame intake at one point in time,
which could be a major weakness affecting their accuracy.

One
diet soda a day increases leukemia, multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphomas
The
combined results of this new study showed that just one 12-fl oz. can (355 ml)
of diet soda daily leads to:
- 42
percent higher leukemia risk in men and women (pooled analysis)
- 102
percent higher multiple myeloma risk (in men only)
- 31
percent higher non-Hodgkin lymphoma risk (in men only)

These results were based on multi-variable relative risk models, all in comparison to participants who drank no diet soda. It is unknown why only men drinking higher amounts of diet soda showed increased risk for multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Note that diet soda is the largest dietary source of aspartame (by far) in the U.S. Every year, Americans consume about 5,250 tons of aspartame in total, of which about 86 percent (4,500 tons) is found in diet sodas.
This new study shows the importance of the quality of research. Most of the past studies showing no link between aspartame and cancer have been criticized for being too short in duration and too inaccurate in assessing long-term aspartame intake.

This new study solves both of those
issues. The fact that it also shows a positive link to cancer should come as no
surprise, because a previous best-in-class research study done on animals (900
rats over their entire natural lifetimes) showed strikingly similar results
back in 2006: aspartame significantly increased the risk for lymphomas and
leukemia in both males and females.
More worrying is the follow on
mega-study, which started aspartame exposure of the rats at the fetal stage.
Increased lymphoma and leukemia risks were confirmed, and this time the female
rats also showed significantly increased breast (mammary) cancer rates. This
raises a critical question: will future, high-quality studies uncover links to
the other cancers in which aspartame has been implicated (brain, breast,
prostate, etc.)?
There is now more reason than ever
to completely avoid aspartame in our daily diet. For those who are tempted to
go back to sugary sodas as a “healthy” alternative, this study had a surprise
finding: men consuming one or more sugar-sweetened sodas daily saw a 66 percent
increase in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (even worse than for diet soda).
Perhaps the healthiest soda is NO
SODA AT ALL.

One good thing about this recession: people will have to think hard about their food choices.
It's well-established news that NutraSweet causes brain tumors. We can thank Rumsfeld for releasing this chemical nemesis in the 80's. He'll get his for this, and many more crimes against humanity.
