The W.H.O. Says Aspartame Is ‘Possibly Carcinogenic.’ What Does That Mean?
世卫组织称阿斯巴甜可能致癌,这意味着什么
On Thursday, two World Health Organization agencies released their findings on aspartame, the artificial sweetener found in thousands of sugar-free products like diet sodas, chewing gums, yogurts and energy drinks.
周四,世界卫生组织的两个机构公布了他们对阿斯巴甜的研究结果,这是一种人工甜味剂,用于成千上万种无糖产品中,如无糖汽水、口香糖、酸奶和能量饮料。
The organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer classified aspartame as possibly carcinogenic to humans. A separate group, the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives, said that there was not convincing evidence of a link between aspartame and cancer in humans and that people could still safely consume the sweetener in moderate amounts.
世卫组织下属的国际癌症研究机构将阿斯巴甜列为可能对人类致癌的物质。另一组织食品添加剂联合专家委员会表示,没有令人信服的证据表明阿斯巴甜与人类癌症之间存在关联,人们仍然可以安全地适量摄入这种甜味剂。
The announcement does not mean that aspartame definitively causes cancer, W.H.O. experts said in a news conference; instead, it is a call for additional research into its health effects.
世卫组织专家在新闻发布会上表示,这一声明并不意味阿斯巴甜必然导致癌症,而是呼吁对其健康影响进行更多研究。
The W.H.O. is not advising companies to withdraw products that contain aspartame or urging people to stop consuming it altogether, said Dr. Francesco Branca, director of the Department of Nutrition and Food Safety at the agency. “We’re just advising for a bit of moderation,” he said.
世界卫生组织营养与食品安全部门主任弗朗西斯科·布兰卡博士表示,世界卫生组织并不建议企业撤下含有阿斯巴甜的产品,也不会敦促人们完全停止食用阿斯巴甜。他表示,“我们只是建议适度摄入”。
