"Recent research further demonstrates saccharin is
unlikely to cause cancer in humans. Saccharin's effects on the rat bladder relate to the
salt form (sodium saccharin), diet, urine pH and sodium levels, protein concentrations and
types of proteins, and the sex, age and strain of the rats fed sodium
saccharin... Other research indicates that the bladder tumors developed by male rats
fed high doses of sodium saccharin are related to very high doses of the sodium salt and
not saccharin per se. Sodium ascorbate (vitamin C) and sodium citrate, found in many foods
and beverages, demonstrate similar effects." See also, The American Counsel on Science and Health
In May 2000, the NTP (National Toxicity Porgram)
released the 9th edition of its Report on Carcinogens and announced
that saccharin had been delisted. The final decision was based on the
recommendation of NTP Director Dr. Kenneth Olden, and endorsed by the
then U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Donna Shalala. The
NTP report was submitted to Congress. |

Berthold-Bond, author of, The Green
Kitchen Handbook (HarperCollins, 1997, Foreword by Meryl Streep),
Clean &
Green: The Complete Guide to Nontoxic and Environmentally Safe Housekeeping
(Ceres Press, 1990). "In 1991, I was diagnosed with an ‘incurable’ case of Grave's
Disease, a fatal thyroid disorder, I never really had Grave's
Disease but my doctors were convinced I did. I had aspartame
poisoning with symptoms of 'textbook‘ Grave's Disease caused by
aspartame saturating my foods. Modern medicine kept me alive
temporarily, but I ‘cured’ my disease using The Aspartame
Detoxification Program©. Modern medicine has led us to the "take a
pill or cut it out mentality" for almost every modern health
symptom, but this approach alone cannot cure disease as more and
more people are personally discovering.
Using the Aspartame Detoxification Program I
designed at the time of my 'disease', I restored my health within 30
days. If you use sugar-free products with aspartame and suffer with
health symptoms your medical doctor cannot 'cure', more than likely
you have aspartame poisoning,"
Dr. Janet Starr Hull, sweetpoison.com
