ScientistMonroe from Canada fed large doses of AS to rats, and found weight gain and cancer.2007 European Ramazzini Foundation of Oncology and Environmental Sciences from Italy confirmed the 1975 study2013 Salem Health- explained the breakdown of AS. Turns to Methanol then to formaldehyde = DEADLY TOXIN.In Opposition,In 2013 FDA released a statement that no sufficient link is found from AS to health concerns, exception of individuals suffering from Phenylketonuria.In 2013 NCI released a statement that no sufficient link is found from AS to cancer, as determined by studies from the FDA. And that rat results are different than human results.
Mayo Clinic- the way AS breaks sends signals to your brain indicating sweetness is “non-nutritive”- containing no calories. Good way to save calories and lose weight2013 Swithers & Davidson at Purdue University- AS block your sweetness receptors, leading to gaining weight because you can’t detect when is enough
