Aspartame was approved by the fda in 1981... no spike in cancer rates AFAICT:

Doesn't mean it doesn't cause cancer... but even if it does, it must not be a very significant cause.

Death rate from cancer is not really comparable, since there has been significant progress in early diagnosis and treatment. Not accusing or defending aspartame, just pointing it out.

As this study points out, however, most tumors manifest very late in life. 1981 is only 40 years ago.
