The Joint WHO and Food and Agriculture Organization’s Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), previously made recommendations on aspartame saying a regular adult would need to drink 12 to 36 cans of soda with aspartame a day to be harmful. Though, JECFA will be publishing new findings pertaining to aspartame.






So many things can and will kill us in this world. Honestly, just look outside. For some Diet Coke is their only refuge in a deeply dark world.
