One of the world’s most common artificial sweeteners is set to be declared a possible carcinogen.

(Edit- Question from OP: downvoters, do you not want me to post stories like this, or are you expressing disagreement with some of the people in the report?)

    The same thing happened with saccharin. There is a link to cancer in mice, but the dose as a percentage of body weight is very high. There is no way a person could consume that much in a day.

    Dose adjusted risk is the true metric here.

    Being obese conveys a higher risk of cancer as well.
