US considered cyclamate carcinogenic while Canada considered saccharine carcinogenic and Switzerland was not concerned about either. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/704432 ENDO 2009: Use of Artificial Sweeteners Linked to 2-Fold Increase in Diabetes Not my point but I have no problem with artificial sweeteners, i.e. my blood sugar. Use of such additives depends on the ruling authority, in the US, the FDA. In the case of food additive, sucralose, which I don't like the looks of chemically, took over 20 years to get FDA approval. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucralose |

We are 20 - 50 years into artificail sweeteners, and just now we find out that thy are bad for you? HFCS seems so innocuous, yet it is having health effects. How long before we find out the impact of manufactured food additives, and GMOs? -- - Billy There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation.

Faith in science versus experience with life seem to be in conflict and money will control to the last gasp. So protect your own and when you see good encourage. Difficult times yet easy to do good.
