Give me the real stuff any day... >From http://www.soveriegn.freeservers.com/fda.htm for what it is worth: "No single Man-food substance had been tested more than saccarin. Its inventors had been very careful lest they market something dangerous. It had also been on the market a very long time without serious problems. The "experiment" that started the cancer scare should not even be graced with the honor of that title. It involved only 12 rats. There was no control group. Saccarin was surgically implanted in the bladders of all 12 rats. Half of the rats developed cancer. Even something as innocuous as honey can cause cancer if surgically implanted in the bladder. This "experiment" was then proclaimed by the FDA as "proof" that saccarin causes cancer, without any other clinical or experimental data. The FDA did not specifically demand that Saccarin be taken off the market. If they had, they would have faced lawsuits, and lost. It was more effective to simply issue their statement. The vendors then had to either replace the saccarin in their foods and drinks, or lose business. Not long after, the FDA approved Aspartame under suspicious circumstances. This is a chemical that breaks down into aspartic acid, phelylalanine and methanol, which in turn produces formaldehyde, at temperatures above 85° Fahrenheit. These are very toxic chemicals."
