It's pretty obvious in the article? The WHO put out multiple, seemingly contradictory articles a while ago (I remember reading about it, and people were confused at the time). Turns out the one that say it was safe was secretly funded by Coca-Cola.

It's fairly obvious that they would benefit from apartame's potential risks being ignored.

To clarify, without reading the French article, it appears not that the third group was explicitly funded by Coca Cola, rather, many of the members on the committee have in the past been associated (membership on the board, attending conferences, membership in working groups, etc.) with a Coca Cola front group.

yeah the implication is "... clearly Coca Cola is involved".

Aspartame's potential risks, as compared with sucroses?

Because I don't recall hearing about any aspartame-linked deaths ever, while I know that diabetes is a killer.
