Is it one of those things like Saccharine, that might be cancerous if you ate 10lbs of it every day for 50 years?

With nearly every chemical, it's not as much the poison as it's the dose.

If diet coke caused cancer, guaranteed we'd know about it by now. A lot of diet coke drinkers are not casual, they're hardcore, and if there was a causality to cancer, it would be impossible to hide the correlation.

I do believe there are a lot of serious long term health issues that chemicals like artificial sweeteners contribute to, especially in America, but I'm not willing to hitch my horse to the carcinogen wagon to get them more attention.

Well, if 80% of people used it but that’s not likely. Don’t know, it was a scientist who quit because of what he felt were potential lawsuits from the product. I have read other info that states the same. If people want to take it, that’s up to them, but other chemically produced sugars cause cancer and other problems.

Why don’t any of the diet soft drinks use sucralose??

Diet Rite Pure Zero Cola does.

Also “Shasta” uses Sucralose:

https://www.shastapop.com

“DOES DIET SHASTA CONTAIN ASPARTAME?
There is no aspartame in Diet Shasta. We use a blend of sucralose and acesulfame potassium sweeteners. (You may know these ingredients by their tradenames: Splenda and Sunnett.)”

Last night, Laura Ingraham gave an anti-aspartame lawyer almost five minutes of un-interrupted propaganda on the multiple dangers of aspartame.

This is pure greed.

Aspartame was developed 50 years ago.

It has been FDA approved for more than 40 years.

Suddenly - it is a dangerous poison!

The ONLY antidote - billions of dollars distributed to USA tort lawyers!

“Possible” means there’s no science involved. It either is or it is not with science. Political shakedown comes into view.

Sugar is bad for you if you have too much of it, but it is at least an actual food.

Aspartame, like sodium saccharine or cyclamates, are just random chemicals that happen to taste sweet. I will take my chances with sugar, thanks.
