Answer 1

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Source 1 mentions the controversy that arose from the mixed results in laboratory studies with rats that involved aspartame, but concludes that the cancer cannot be related to the consumption of the sweetener.

Source 2 states that there is direct proof of the link between the rats with cancer in the laboratory experiments and the aspartame that they happened to be consuming at the time.
