Ahhhh the good old days when we had an effective and affordable sugar substitute. it was removed from the market cause some scientist gave a rat 20 jillion more times the amount a human would ever ingest in a life time and the rat got cancer. Then we got sacharin (gag) and asparatame ( gag again) and they too cause cancer in labratory animals.
Splenda is pretty good, but how soon will (sucralose) be labeled as "causing something in lab rats" and why cant we go back to cyclamates?

I understand the sugar causes cancer in rats, too, with the proper dosage.

It just amazes me how the FDA can worry about a non-issue and then say nothing about tainted foods coming from Mexico and China...

Because they always take everything that is GOOD away from you because they say it is BAD for you.
I hate that.
