I new a guy who was super healthy, no smoking, no drinking, didn't use aspartame for everything.

He went to the doctor feeling a little under the weather one day. Several weeks later he had died of leukemia.

Don't know what caused it, but I doubt it was replacing sugar with Aspartame.

There is a reason the plural of anecdote isn't data.

Honestly, your claim is crazy.

For anything X, there will be something who consumes no X who dies of cancer, and someone who consumes huge amounts of X who dies of cancer.

> It may be something else that caused the cancer, but I doubt it.

Like bad luck with your genes. Which is actually one of the most important factors in getting cancer.
