Oh yeah - #aspartame causes #cancer ... again ... This myth has been going around for decades. Recently with #IARC move to classify it as "probable carcinogen for humans" it's an ultimate reckoning with the skeptics and a final proof that they have been right all along. After all, the International Agency for Research on Cancer is gotta be right, right? And the media are happily spreading the news for some clickbait. Only one problem - it's probably complete BS ...

This event shows time and again, that even the world institutions that are supposed to be impartial are plagued by activism, wishful thinking and ideology. As this linked article outlines, the importance of multiple source corroboration, critical thinking and scientific objectivity and taking media clickbaits with a grain of salt is more important than ever ... So, no, I'm not stopping drinking Zero Coke ...
