Does artificial sweetener aspartame really cause cancer? What the WHO listing means for your diet soft drink habit

Retrieved on: 
Friday, July 14, 2023

They have recommended the acceptable daily intake be 0 to 40mg per kilo of body weight, as we currently have in Australia.

Key Points: 
  • They have recommended the acceptable daily intake be 0 to 40mg per kilo of body weight, as we currently have in Australia.
  • The hazard rating means it’s an agent that is capable of causing cancer; a risk measures the likelihood it could cause cancer.

Firstly, what is aspartame?

    • It’s used in a variety of products including carbonated drinks such as Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Pepsi Max and some home brand offerings.
    • You can identify aspartame in drinks and foods by looking for additive number 951.
    • In Australia the acceptable daily intake is 40mg per kilo of body weight per day, which is about 60 sachets.

What evidence have they used to come to this conclusion?

    • They found there was some limited evidence in human studies linking aspartame and cancer (specifically liver cancer) and limited evidence from animal studies as well.
    • They also considered the biological mechanism studies which showed how cancer may develop from the consumption of aspartame.
    • Usually these are lab-based studies which show exactly how exposure to the agent may lead to a cancer.
    • In this case they found there was limited evidence for how aspartame might cause cancer.

What does each grouping mean?

    • There are 126 agents in this group, including tobacco smoking, alcohol, processed meat, radiation and ionising radiation.
    • There are 95 agents in this group, including red meat, DDT insecticide and night shift work.
    • There are now 323 agents in this group, including aloe vera (whole leaf extract), ginkgo biloba and lead.

So do I have to give up my diet soft drink habit?

    • For a 70kg person you would need to consume about 14 cans (over 5 litres) of soft drink sweetened with aspartame a day to reach the acceptable daily intake.
    • But we need to remember there may also be aspartame added in other foods consumed.
    • But overall, from this evidence, drinking the occasional or even daily can of a diet drink is safe and probably not a cancer risk.

Why guys who post a lot on social media are seen as less manly

Retrieved on: 
Monday, July 10, 2023

For better or worse, much of life is categorized along gendered lines: Clothing stores have sections for men and women, certain foods are considered more manly or more feminine, and even drinks can take on a gendered sheen (“manmosa,” anyone?).

Key Points: 
  • For better or worse, much of life is categorized along gendered lines: Clothing stores have sections for men and women, certain foods are considered more manly or more feminine, and even drinks can take on a gendered sheen (“manmosa,” anyone?).
  • Our newly published research finds that even social media is a canvas for rigid gender stereotyping.
  • Specifically, we show that men who post often on social media are seen as feminine, a phenomenon we refer to as the “frequent-posting femininity stereotype.” We observed this bias in four experiments featuring over 1,300 respondents from the U.S. and U.K.

To post is to be seen as unmanly

    • There’s even a tendency for people to think it is unmanly to sleep more, because needing rest is connected to being weak and vulnerable.
    • We thought about how some of these notions might come into play on social media.
    • We also controlled for the gender, age, political beliefs and social media use of the people who participated in the study.
    • Notably, we used an identical scenario to describe a woman’s posting behavior – and post frequency had no effect on how feminine people thought she was.

An aversion to appearing needy

    • We discovered that anyone who frequently posts, regardless of their gender, comes across as a person who seeks attention and validation.
    • But this projected sense of neediness only translates to perceived femininity in men.
    • In both cases – and to our surprise – frequent posting caused participants to see these social media users as more feminine.

Broadening the definition of manhood

    • For example, it’s unclear to what degree the frequent-posting femininity stereotype affects how men are judged in different cultures.
    • Our research suggests that this link is durable and reflects persistent gender dynamics.
    • The frequent-posting femininity stereotype reveals another instance in which men are judged for attempting to express themselves and build social connections.
    • What will it take for that rigid definition of manhood to be broadened?
