I guess the only true key is moderation. I mean if you smoke 2 packs of cigarettes a day for 30 years you are more likely to develope cancer than someone who just ocassionally subjects themselves to a cloud of second hand smoke. So if you drink a can of diet soda at lunch you are probally not likely to develop cancer from aspartame. On the other hand if you drink a 12 pack a day your risk will go up.

Having worked in the biotech industry, I can tell you that many drug candidates do well in animal trials but fail in humans. Humans <em>are</em> different from animals. In these studies, they speak of giving equivalent doses of aspartame to the rats. However, it is a different scale than that in humans, no matter what the concentration. Many times a reaction will work well on a small scale, but when you scale it up, it won't work. Just one of those quirks in chemistry.</p> I came upon this posting from a link to it on facebook.
