The World Health Organization Proves Why Censorship is Dangerous

We are continually bumping into the realization that our collective sensemaking processes suck. And with censorship on the rise, and being called for by more and more people, I can’t help but recall my personal experience to illustrate just how absurd what’s happening truly is. (I believe absurdity is necessary though.)

The International Agency for Research on Cancer, an entity within the World Health Organization, recently evaluated findings from both human and animal studies of aspartame and cancer. The group noted positive associations between aspartame consumption and hepatocellular carcinoma, a form of liver cancer.

To be clear, this isn’t a sudden admission of extreme danger with aspartame, but an acknowledgement of the uncertainty that exists around it. An uncertainty that has been reported on for many decades, mainly falling on deaf ears and met with ridicule.

Since our early days with Collective Evolution, we wrote many articles about aspartame. To note, those articles have been pulled due to consistent attacks we got from fact-checkers censoring content we published as early as 2010. Content that explored studies concluding more research is necessary due to findings that suggest many possible poor health outcomes from aspartame consumption, including cancer.

Back then, I personally did several investigations into the research behind aspartame. It has always been a shaky subject. The history of how aspartame became legal is filled with controversy....<<<Read More>>>....
