“humans would need to drink the equivalent of 800 twelve-ounce diet sodas with saccharin daily to reach the carcinogenic doses that induced rat bladder cancer.”
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?
Saccharine (Sweet 'n Low) was the big scare back then.
It turned out it did cause cancer… in rats… if you force fed them some crazy amount like 400x normal.
