In May, the WHO advised against consuming artificial sweeteners as a weight-loss strategy, since they have not been found to reduce body fat long-term.

As Schlatter studied the mixture further, he found that methanol, which is a simple alcohol also found in fruits and vegetables, seemed to be a key to the powder’s sweetness — and aspartame as a sugar substitute was born. While chewing gum has some potential benefits, chewing too much gum could cause some unwanted side effects. Sugar-free gums contain laxatives and FODMAPs Millstone EP, et al. (2019). EFSA’s toxicological assessment of aspartame: Was it even-handedly trying to identify possible unreliable positives and unreliable negatives?Initially launched in 1984 as the first sugar-free gum sold in the United States, Wrigley’s Extra gum is now owned by the Mars corporation. It’s still sugar-free, sweetened using products such as aspartame and acesulfame K. Does spearmint gum have aspartame? Free methanol is present in some foods and is also created when aspartame is heated.

For certain people, products containing aspartame should be avoided due to the potential for harmful side effects to occur. PhenylketonuriaIn a small 2012 study in university students, chewing gum for 2 weeks decreased participants’ feelings of stress, particularly in relation to academic workload ( 31). That’s how consumers can make sense of the fact that at the same time as that of IARC’s announcement, another WHO committee affirmed that the approved daily intake levels for aspartame weren’t changing as a result of the new carcinogenic categorization. Similar past IARC rulings have raised consumer concerns, led to lawsuits, and pressured manufacturers into scrambling for alternative ingredients. Given such inconsistency in the scientific literature, and the limited amount of high quality studies done to date on any of these health conditions or side effects, research is ongoing to explore if aspartame is linked conclusively and with a strong level of scientific certainty to any of these reported negative outcomes.
