One of the world’s most common artificial sweeteners is set to be declared a possible carcinogen.
(Edit- Question from OP: downvoters, do you not want me to post stories like this, or are you expressing disagreement with some of the people in the report?)
Thanks for the explanation! I guess it does make sense to use the precautionary principle.
There are circumstances where the precautionary principle is good to apply. But overuse of it has really bad cumulative consequences.
I think that would depend on magnitude if probability was low or indeterminate?
It’s worth pointing out that red meat is one step higher on the list as a probable carcinogen (Class 2A vs Class 2B), as is drinking liquids above 65 C.
One step higher in Class 1 is, among others things, the pill.
