This week marks the 40th anniversary of the Food and Drug
Administration's decision to ban cyclamate, the first artificial
sweetener prohibited in the U.S., and yet scientists still haven't
reached a consensus about how safe (or harmful) artificial sweeteners
may be. Shouldn't we have figured this out by now?
1 Comments in Response to Artificial Sweeteners: How Bad Are Saccharin, Aspartame?
It's convenient that the author neatly ommitted the fact that Aspartame has a chemical alteration at a given temperature (not that high) which converts it into formaldehyde. And you're going to tell me that this is harmless and safe? Whose studies are we following or quoting from anyway. Oh yeah, our honest FDA. I forgot. The people we trust with our food and drugs. Thats a comforting thought.
