WHO can't be held responsible for headlines put out by newspapers.
WHO declared aspartame possibly carcinogenic, putting it in the same class as mobile phone usage That means there is some limited evidence pointing in that direction, but that further studies are needed to confirm this. I don't think this statement is incorrect. In the end is all about the daily dosis, and the possibly increase in cancer (is it 0.005% or 5%).
If you need to drink 40 cans to increase your cancer risk by 0.005%, it would be irrelevant for most people.
