This should be big - and about time. Studies have known about this for 40 years, and it’s known in some circles that aspartame is quite bad for your health.
Wonder what coke - and many other companies that use it - are going to do.

Um. Just to point a couple of things here:
“According to ISA, aspartame is one of the most-thoroughly researched ingredients in history…”
ISA is the International Sweeteners Association. I hope that speaks for itself?
And that the International Council of Beverages Association would defend it is similarly unsurprising, as they have a vested interest.
You are minimizing a WHO body with industry shill talking points and people are upvoting it because it sounds convincing.
While you are pointing out correct things, you are missing the forest for the trees.

The IARC makes its carcinogenic categorizations mutually exclusive from dosing. If a substance is known to be carcinogenic at unrealistic amounts, it will still be labeled as carcinogenic. They don’t’ bring the human dosing element into play.
There is another WHO organization called the JEFCA that does actual food safety, with the context of a human being.
