Didn't they suggest that aspartame could cause cancer way back in the late 80s or early 90s?

I remember growing up hearing about something like that when sweet and low was the go to sugar.

It seemed to kind of just fall of the face of the earth and is resurfacing now?

According to the article, yes, comprehensive studies showed it was strongly correlated to brain tumors back in the 90s. However big companies lobbied and did their own "research" to bury the studies that quite conclusively showed aspartame caused cancer.
