世卫组织官宣：阿斯巴甜可能致癌

上月底，路透社报道称，知情人透露，阿斯巴甜将在7月中旬被列为可能致癌物。

今天，世卫组织官方发布阿斯巴甜（aspartame）危害及风险评估结果：国际癌症研究机构援引对人类致癌性的“有限证据”，将阿斯巴甜归为可能对人类致癌之列（国际癌症研究机构第2B组），联合专家委员会重申其每日允许摄入量为每公斤体重40毫克。

不过，假设没有其他方面的食物摄入，一罐含有200或300毫克阿斯巴甜的软饮料，一位体重70公斤的成人每天要饮用9-14罐以上才会超过每日允许摄入量。

Aspartame hazard and risk assessment results released

From: WHO

Assessments of the health impacts of the non-sugar sweetener aspartame are released today by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). Citing “limited evidence” for carcinogenicity in humans, IARC classified aspartame as possibly carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 2B) and JECFA reaffirmed the acceptable daily intake of 40 mg/kg body weight.

Aspartame is an artificial (chemical) sweetener widely used in various food and beverage products since the 1980s, including diet drinks, chewing gum, gelatin, ice cream, dairy products such as yogurt, breakfast cereal, toothpaste and medications such as cough drops and chewable vitamins.

“Cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally. Every year, 1 in 6 people die from cancer. Science is continuously expanding to assess the possible initiating or facilitating factors of cancer, in the hope of reducing these numbers and the human toll,” said Dr Francesco Branca, Director of the Department of Nutrition and Food Safety, WHO. “The assessments of aspartame have indicated that, while safety is not a major concern at the doses which are commonly used, potential effects have been described that need to be investigated by more and better studies.”

The two bodies conducted independent but complementary reviews to assess the potential carcinogenic hazard and other health risks associated with aspartame consumption. This was the first time that IARC has evaluated aspartame and the third time for JECFA.

After reviewing the available scientific literature, both evaluations noted limitations in the available evidence for cancer (and other health effects).

IARC classified aspartame as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) on the basis of limited evidence for cancer in humans (specifically, for hepatocellular carcinoma, which is a type of liver cancer). There was also limited evidence for cancer in experimental animals and limited evidence related to the possible mechanisms for causing cancer.

JECFA concluded that the data evaluated indicated no sufficient reason to change the previously established acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 0–40 mg/kg body weight for aspartame. The committee therefore reaffirmed that it is safe for a person to consume within this limit per day. For example, with a can of diet soft drink containing 200 or 300 mg of aspartame, an adult weighing 70kg would need to consume more than 9–14 cans per day to exceed the acceptable daily intake, assuming no other intake from other food sources.

IARC’s hazard identifications are the first fundamental step to understand the carcinogenicity of an agent by identifying its specific properties and its potential to cause harm, i.e. cancer. IARC classifications reflect the strength of scientific evidence as to whether an agent can cause cancer in humans, but they do not reflect the risk of developing cancer at a given exposure level. The IARC hazard evaluation considers all types of exposures (e.g. dietary, occupational). The strength-of-evidence classification in Group 2B is the third highest level out of 4 levels, and it is generally used either when there is limited, but not convincing, evidence for cancer in humans or convincing evidence for cancer in experimental animals, but not both.

“The findings of limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and animals, and of limited mechanistic evidence on how carcinogenicity may occur, underscore the need for more research to refine our understanding on whether consumption of aspartame poses a carcinogenic hazard,” said Dr Mary Schubauer-Berigan of the IARC Monographs programme.

JECFA’s risk assessments determine the probability of a specific type of harm, i.e. cancer, to occur under certain conditions and levels of exposure. It is not unusual for JECFA to factor IARC classifications into its deliberations.

“JECFA also considered the evidence on cancer risk, in animal and human studies, and concluded that the evidence of an association between aspartame consumption and cancer in humans is not convincing,” said Dr Moez Sanaa, WHO’s Head of the Standards and Scientific Advice on Food and Nutrition Unit. “We need better studies with longer follow-up and repeated dietary questionnaires in existing cohorts. We need randomized controlled trials, including studies of mechanistic pathways relevant to insulin regulation, metabolic syndrome and diabetes, particularly as related to carcinogenicity.”

The IARC and JECFA evaluations of the impact of aspartame were based on scientific data collected from a range of sources, including peer-reviewed papers, governmental reports and studies conducted for regulatory purposes. The studies have been reviewed by independent experts, and both committees have taken steps to ensure the independence and reliability of their evaluations.

IARC and WHO will continue to monitor new evidence and encourage independent research groups to develop further studies on the potential association between aspartame exposure and consumer health effects.

JECFA concluded that the data evaluated indicated no sufficient reason to change the previously established acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 0–40 mg/kg body weight for aspartame. The committee therefore reaffirmed that it is safe for a person to consume within this limit per day. For example, with a can of diet soft drink containing 200 or 300 mg of aspartame, an adult weighing 70kg would need to consume more than 9–14 cans per day to exceed the acceptable daily intake, assuming no other intake from other food sources.

联合专家委员会得出结论，所评估的数据表明没有充分理由改变以往确定的阿斯巴甜每公斤体重0-40毫克这一每日允许摄入量。因此，委员会重申，人们可在这个每日限量内放心食用。例如，假设没有其他方面的食物摄入，一罐含有200或300毫克阿斯巴甜的减肥软饮料，一位体重70公斤的成人每天要饮用9-14罐以上才会超过每日允许摄入量。

IARC’s hazard identifications are the first fundamental step to understand the carcinogenicity of an agent by identifying its specific properties and its potential to cause harm, i.e. cancer. IARC classifications reflect the strength of scientific evidence as to whether an agent can cause cancer in humans, but they do not reflect the risk of developing cancer at a given exposure level. The IARC hazard evaluation considers all types of exposures (e.g. dietary, occupational). The strength-of-evidence classification in Group 2B is the third highest level out of 4 levels, and it is generally used either when there is limited, but not convincing, evidence for cancer in humans or convincing evidence for cancer in experimental animals, but not both.

国际癌症研究机构的危害确认工作，是通过确认一种物质的具体特性及其造成危害（即癌症）的可能性来了解其致癌性的首个基本步骤。国际癌症研究机构分类反映了某种物质是否会引起人类癌症的科学证据的强度，但它们并不反映在特定暴露水平下发生癌症的风险。国际癌症研究机构危害评估考虑了所有类型的暴露情况（如饮食暴露、职业暴露）。证据强度分类第2B组是最高4个级别中的第三级，并且通常用于存在有限但不令人信服的人类癌症证据情况或具有令人信服的实验动物癌症证据情况，但不能同时用于两种情况。

We need randomized controlled trials, including studies of mechanistic pathways relevant to insulin regulation, metabolic syndrome and diabetes, particularly as related to carcinogenicity.”

“联合专家委员会还在动物和人类研究中考虑了癌症风险的证据，并得出结论，食用阿斯巴甜与人类癌症之间存在关联的证据并不令人信服，”世卫组织食品和营养标准和科学建议处处长Moez Sanaa博士说。“我们需要开展更好的研究，在现有队列中进行更长时间的随访并重复开展饮食问卷调查。我们需要开展随机对照试验，包括与胰岛素调节、代谢综合征和糖尿病相关的机理途径的研究，特别是与致癌性相关的研究。”
