Experts explain new study based on human trials and why it is different from WHO findings
Chinese scientists have successfully synthesized sugar from carbon dioxide in a controlled laboratory setting, marking a significant advancement in artificial sugar production. Groundbreaking study: The research, published last week in the journal Chinese Science Bulletin, is the result of a collaboration between the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology and the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics. After over two years of extensive experimentation, the research team managed to address the challenges posed by conventional sugar extraction methods.
Soft drinks like Coca-Cola, even Diet Coke, have a common ingredient called aspartame, which is an artificial sweetener used as a replacement for sugar.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is the specialised cancer agency of the World Health Organization, has declared aspartame may be a possible carcinogenic hazard to humans.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has stated, that using sweeteners in place of sugar does not help with weight management over the long term.
