Or are you refeering to the effects of Sacharine on rats, that DID give RATS cancer. The outrage eliminated sacharine from products, before it was determined that the cancer was caused by a reation with a chemical found in RAT urine, and only rat urine.
We need to get away from jumping to conculsions everytime some nut does a study. It takes many studies by many idependant researchers to prove a fact. The media are quick to produce front page headlines everytime a study shows a potential bad effect (often leaving the "potential" part to the end of the article), ignoring dozens of studies showing the product to be perfectly safe.
I say don't worry about using a product evertime someone claims it to be unsafe (there probably wouldn't be any products left to use), but focus on the FACTS that we KNOW, such as reducing or eliminating animal products from our diet has health benefits no one can refute. I can just see parents lined up at McDonald's ensuring their children are not drinking diet pop, at the same time as they are feeding them saturated fat loaded Big Macs. Does this make sense?
