Aspartame had been very well studied for decades. It's highly unlikely that it's going to suddenly be found to be dangerous or toxic to consume as it is used currently.
As others have pointed out, the WHO does some weird shit with classifying substances as carcinogenic, and the media is happy to run headlines based on it for clicks. Others itt have pointed out that red meat and alcohol are classified as "top carcinogens" in the same scale, but you won't see those discussed in the same way.
"Actually aspartame is carcinogenic" is in the "man gets slight rush from telling people John Lennon beat his wife" sort of territory.
