Other possible carcinogens include rubbing lead all over your body and licking 50 year old paint.

Of course, the actual magnitude of effect is so monstrously different that it'd almost seem dishonest for someone to claim this in a vacuum, especially in the face of the several decades of research, several thousand studies, several hundred animal tests, all of which have found no actual proposed chemical route of cancer generation from aspartame.
