Certain recent human epidemiological studies (a type of study which has certain inherent flaws) have not shown a link between consumption of aspartame and incidence of cancer, which is only one type of undesirable side effect. Animal studies have been more conclusive. | Certain recent human epidemiological studies (a type of study which has certain inherent flaws) have not shown a link between consumption of aspartame and incidence of cancer, which is only one type of undesirable side effect.
