This has been a thing since forever. I remember there being a big doobadoo about the shit in Diet Coke back in the 90's. They showed it gave mice cancer.
It used to be called NutraSweet.
The thing is that the study with the mice was seriously flawed. There's been more research since then, which is why we're getting this announcement now (even though the announcement itself is little more than "oh hey there might be something to this? We definitely need more research before we can know for sure.")
Yeah, I thought this sounded pretty familiar. I thought it was like a known thing.
