2024考研英语同源外刊7月:阿斯巴甜疑似致癌?

One of the world's most common artificial sweeteners is set to be declared a possible carcinogen next month by a leading global health body, according to two sources with knowledge of the process, pitting it against the food industry and regulators.

据两名知情人士透露，下月一家权威的全球健康机构或将宣布一种常见的人工甜味为可能的致癌物，这影响到食品行业和监管机构发展。

Aspartame, used in products from Coca-Cola diet sodas to Mars' Extra chewing gum and some Snapple drinks, will be listed in July as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" for the first time by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the World Health Organization's (WHO) cancer research arm.

阿斯巴甜用于可口可乐无糖汽水、益达口香糖和斯纳普饮料等一些产品中，它将于今年7月被国际癌症研究机构和世界卫生组织癌症研究部门首次列为“可能对人类致癌的物质”。

It does not take into account how much of a product a person can safely consume. This advice for individuals comes from a separate WHO expert committee on food additives, known as JECFA (the Joint WHO and Food and Agriculture Organization's Expert Committee on Food Additives), alongside determinations from national regulators.

但这并未考虑到一个人食用多少阿斯巴甜才会致癌。这条针对个人的建议来自世卫组织独立的食品添加剂专家委员会，该委员会名为联合国粮农组织和世界卫生组织的联合食品添加剂委员会，与此同时，各国监管机构也做出了决定。

JECFA, the WHO committee on additives, is also reviewing aspartame use this year. Its meeting began at the end of June and it is due to announce its findings on the same day that the IARC makes public its decision – on July 14. Since 1981. JECFA has said aspartame is safe to consume within accepted daily limits.

今年，该委员会也在审查阿斯巴甜的使用情况。会议于6月底开始，将在国际癌症研究机构公布其决定的同一天(也就是7月14日)宣布其调查结果。自1981年以来，该委员会一直表示，在可接受的每日限量内食用阿斯巴甜是安全的。

For example, an adult weighing 60 kg (132 pounds) would have to drink between 12 and 36 cans of diet soda – depending on the amount of aspartame in the beverage – every day to be at risk. Its view has been widely shared by national regulators, including in the United States and Europe.

例如，一个体重60公斤(约合132磅)的成年人每天必须喝12至36罐无糖汽水(取决于饮料中阿斯巴甜的含量)才能有风险。这一观点得到了包括美国和欧洲在内的各国监管机构的广泛认同。

An IARC spokesperson said both the IARC and JECFA committees' findings were confidential until July, but added they were "complementary", with IARC's conclusion representing "the first fundamental step to understand carcinogenicity".

国际癌症研究机构的一位发言人表示，该机构和该委员会的调查结果在7月份之前都不对外公布，但他补充说，这些结果是“互补的”，该机构的结论代表了“了解致癌性的首个基本步骤”。

The additives committee "conducts risk assessment, which determines the probability of a specific type of harm (e.g. cancer) to occur under certain conditions and levels of exposure."

该委员会“进行风险评估，确定在特定条件和接触水平下发生特定类型伤害(例如癌症)的概率。”
