So maybe the huge worry people had after the news that WHO would classify it as cancerous was a little too much. I think the media could have reported on it in a bit more responsible way.

    Won’t effect the US, even if it causes cancer. EU has prohibited food additives which are carcinogenic, but we don’t because the poor, poor food producers might have to pay farmers more and pay a couple pennies to make food that doesn’t kill people.

      The US should ban it just like it does saccharine. It takes less aspartame for that study than it takes for saccharine to cause issues I mice.

      The US is fairly strict about food additives that cause cancer, but not general chemicals that cause cancer. There’s also a difference between causes cancer and link to cancer.
