    I don’t get it. What would be Coke’s motive here? Wouldn’t they be cutting into their own sales if aspartame was shown as terrible for you?

      They released the study that said it wasn’t so bad. That article was a mashed wreck, though, so I could be mistaken

        If it’s the report I think they’re referring to, it basically said Aspartame is possibly carcinogenic but safe at normal consumption levels.

        It raised a lot of doubt around Aspartame being carcinogenic without going so far as to deem it non carcinogenic, concluding that more studies are needed.

        I wouldn’t call it overwhelmingly positive for Coke but it’s not hurting them.
