We love having you here, pull up a chair and stick around.. or, we'll ping you if somethin BIG happens.. :)
..as I was saying..(BLUSH)I took this off of a pretty reliable website;
Status: FDA's Cancer Assessment Committee (CAC) reviewed the scientific evidence and reached the following conclusion in 1984: "[T]he collective weight of the many experiments... indicates that cyclamate is not carcinogenic." In June 1985, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) reaffirmed the CAC's conclusion noting, "the totality of the evidence from studies in animals does not indicate that cyclamate or its major metabolite cyclohexylamine is carcinogenic by itself."
Cyclamate is approved for use in more than 50 countries worldwide.
Substantial scientific evidence supports cyclamate's safe use by the millions of consumers who seek to control their intake of carbohydrate-based sweeteners and calories.
A favorable decision on the current petition for reapproval would provide for a greater variety of low-calorie foods and beverages to help meet consumer demand.
No low-calorie sweetener is perfect for all uses. However, with several low-calorie sweeteners available, each can be used in the applications for which it is best suited. Also, when used in combination (as would most often be the case with cyclamate), the strengths of one sweetener can compensate for the limitations of another, providing for increased stability, improved taste, lower production costs and more product choices for the consumer.
There are any number of offshore suppliers of Cyclamate, the most logical is Canada, but England and even Mexico has it on the shelf. I saw it in Belize less than a month ago, but I can't remember how much it was... If you really want it, we can find a ordering source.
