there's plenty of chemicals that cause cancer in lab animals, but testing on animals sometimes gives insufficient data to determine toxicity in humans

so far no one has died from artificial sweeteners

Have a look at the ingredients list on nearly every can of diet soda....you will see this printed:

"Contains a source of Phenylanine".

Artificial sweeteners are the source.

A lot of things contain phenylalanine. Like someone else here said, every diet soda contains some sort. Same with Tab. Most diet drinks do.

It probably won't kill you, but yes it gave cancer to lab mice in ridiculous doses.

Either way, I think that stuff tastes like crap, except in gum and mints.

no..it wont kill you..ingredients are same in diet soda, sugar free anything..large amounts arent very good for you, but it not terrible
