Cancer experts have spoken on a number of myths surrounding different foods and their supposed risks with the disease.
On Thursday, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported its cancer research body carried out research on aspartame - one of the most common artificial sweeteners found in a number of foods and drinks. Next month, the agency is due to publish a report determining whether the sweetener found in Diet Coke and chewing gum is cancerous.
A leading cancer charity has listed a number of cancerous food 'myths', explaining what the evidence actually says about various foods causing cancer. The declaration to be made by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has already caused controversy, with some claiming it has sparked fear mongering.
