It's not a "risk" it's a "hazard assement".
It's not a food safety agency it's just the World Health Organization's cancer research arm.
This certainly doesn't stir up mistrust.

I don't have these headaches unless it's aspartame and I really had no real opinion on the whole thing until after years of repeated "why am I getting headaches" shortly after and I revaluate what I've had and it's always triggered around aspartame. It isn't psychosomatic. I don't have a problem with regular migranes or headaches. When I do get headaches I can usually attribute them to dehydration, or stress, or some other obvious issue.
I can have suculouse with no problem. Stevia no problem. Monk fruit no problem with the added bonus of having more lucid dreams. High fructose corn syrup but I feel a bit bloated after so I try to stay away from that - but no headaches. It's always aspartame if I have more than 1 serving. So there's something there.
Why am I being gaslighted so damned hard on this forum?
Look I'm not trying to gaslight you. It's totally possible that aspartame affects you in a unique way. Maybe the headache thing is real and you are a hyper-responder. Maybe most people don't experience headaches because they're convinced it's safe. All I have to say is that you can't rule out psychosomatic effects without blind testing, and I personally don't believe untested anecdotes like yours because of my own experience with drugs and from growing up in the tail end of the MSG panic. Have a nice day, take the last word if you want.
even if you do get a headache from aspartame, so what? it says nothing about the general safety of the stuff
