Cyclamates were banned in the US because the sugar industry paid handsomely for a study feeding rats MASSIVE amounts of cyclamate, These rats (which were of a strain predisposed to have cancer) developed cancer.
Massive publicity, lobbying of congress, and for all I know greased palms at the FDA and viola! Cyclamates were banned.
I agree. These ‘cancer causing....’ studies are BS. Feed enough of anything to rats so they drown in it and then you can call it ‘causes cancer.’
