Wow.
Hopeful.
In my world, bacon extract would be the magic bullet for all diseases. :0)

Were’nt they saying just 20 years ago tht sachcarin “caused” cancer? Didn’t they ban it or something?
That's what I thought. Then again, I think the same people who did that study discovered that laboratory mice cause cancer.
“Were’nt they saying just 20 years ago tht sachcarin “caused” cancer?”
Yes. Just about the same time they were pushing global cooling.
I used sweet n low for years, despite the warnings. Noticed they removed the warning from packaging - must have done it in the last year or so.
And the silver bullet against jihadists.
Somewhere in my memory is something from the late 70’s about saccharine being a carcinogen (!!)
My memory could be faulty.
LOL-
AL gore must have cornered the Saccharine market!
More like 30 yrs ago. They over fed it to rats and they developed cancers. The new plant based ones taste much better.
Nothing is said about the on Black box warning Foreto Bone Cancer for Osteoporosis, or that it reverses itself after the FDA restricted 2 yr course. http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=21853 OR the other FDA Warning that comes is attached to ALL OP drugs.
The doc and I get into every time I have to see him. I’m not taking their poison. My bones are made of vitamins and minerals. Not chems.
You can't name one thing that isn't a chemical.

Actually, it was more like 40 years ago that it was banned.
Muslims.
I believe it was Cyclamate that was banned.
It was both, actually. Cyclamates were banned even earlier.
Well, to be fair, subsequent studies proved pretty conclusively that the leading cause of cancer in laboratory rats is scientists.
In ten past most drugs were tested with male rats in order to avoid complications of the estrogen cycle. The fed the male rats doses that were many fold higher than that consumed by humans. It turned out that saccharine precipitated in the rats liver and that the crystals caused cancer. That reaction did not occur in female rats or in humans - end of story.
