saccharin (the pre-aspartame artificial sweetener) was around for about 30 years before studies revealed that it was carcinogenic.

Btw, saccharin has been delisted (in the US) as a carcinogen. Because it's not in humans, only rats.

Yeah, but my point was that it was put in food without knowing enough about it for around 30 years. It could've been carcinogenic.

Nobody's done any long term studies on aspartame, despite problems with previous sugar substitutes. We only know that it doesn't cause brain tumors. In rats.
