But when you do something to the rats, and they ALL get cancer at the same time. I wouldn’t blame the rats so much.

@@TEMPLE7D BrandEver is probably referring to the fact that rats used for experimentation are bred to be susceptible to cancer. Anyone who has had pet rats knows, they are probably going to die from tumors even under the best environment because pet rats are bred from those same rats. I've probably owned six pet rats and they all died with massive tumors...every pet rat owner I've talked to has had the same experience.

@@TEMPLE7D Notice how lab rats are generally white? They are specially bred with recessive traits for reproducibility between experiments. The whole point is for them ALL to react the exact same. They are good for testing toxic limits as a first pass. But they have little bearing on what would happen to actual wild mice - or humans. Not that I support using artificial sweeteners - just that the experiments they did were bogus and show nothing really.

I had a pet hairless rat. It died…of cancer. Apparently running on a wheel, drinking water and eating rat chow causes cancer.

I feel for your dad. Farmers are forgotten and swept under the rug like dust until people run out of food.

There are some concerns about certain production byproducts that might make it into the final product and may be linked to cancer, and one study suggested an increase in child hyperactivity after consumption, but the evidence was weak and the results haven't been replicated.

I wouldn't be surprised the most farmers get cancer from the pesticides they use without the proper personal protection.

@@iridium8341 There are drug, power and manufacturing sectors of course, but If the agriculture interests aren't lobbying why do they have so many councils, The Dairy council, those folks promoting the "other white meat", Angus Beef, California grape people. Apples from WA, Oranges which used to be from FL and so on?

Well, they COULD cause cancer, in sufficiently large quantities. But my understanding is that you'd have to have a MASSIVE amount for that to happen. If you had the equivalent of that in sugar, I doubt it would work out well either. Even water is can kill you if you drink it in sufficiently large quantities over a short period of time.

Yes! How dare farmers make a profit! They should be giving all their food away to the people for free! Farmers have been known thruout history for their great wealth. It is a very lucrative industry, with absolutely no risk from weather or economic downturns. Droughts? Floods? Don't they have insurance for that? And it makes great economic sense to pay $16/hour for unskilled manual labor. Why not $25/hr for bagging carrots? The oppressed worker deserves it!!

the more absurd part of it to me is that there is a magazine for beet growers is it that big of a business in the US or has the magazine stopped publishing for decades?

@@Mate_Antal_Zoltan Sugar cane is a better producer of sugar, but doesn't grow well in many parts of the US. Sugar beets, on the other hand, actually grow well in areas that are not able to farm much other than close relatives of beets, like rutabagas. When in the last time you had a rutabaga? I live in Michigan, and the Huron Bay area is the center of beet farming in Michigan. It is big business. As far as rutabagas go, my brother used to own land near the Saint Clair River. While there he grew the hottest turnips I ever had, and rutabagas so big he carved jack o lanterns from the largest and displayed them next to the pumpkins. I don't know why certains soils are better for certain vegetables, but when I was a child, the only sugar available in Michigan was beet sugar. Cane sugar had more shipping costs, but I expect it was more of a legislate to support local farmers rather than far away farmers. The big change to sugar pricing in the US was after the US cut ties with Cuba over Castro. Sugar was cheaper before that because Cuba had the perfect weather and soil for sugar cane. Castro was fighting against all the US corporations controlling everything there and paying Cubans low wages while showing off their wealth in Casinos in Havana.

I was thinking the same thing but about caffeine, since it will cause a heart attack if you have 5-6 orders of magnitude more than even excessive human consumption provides.

@@lnplum *The whole US economy starts sweating profusely*

Animal dosing is a very difficult question to test for long term use in long lived animals. rat tumor tests are also very difficult as they freuqntly develop tumors anyway so need very good controls.

yes! i do think (though i am totally basing this on instinct) some science reporting has gotten better too. but then again, i have seen how bad the ai reporting is and second guess things!

I’ve seen some people unironically want Flouride banned because of similar scientific experiments that showed the dangers of ridiculously high doses. The dose makes the poison.

@@PhilEdwardsInc I think you guys are both correct. I think the issue comes from studies being made for & by scientists - there is no intermediary who digests, translates & summarises them for the general public. Not sure there ever will be; it’s hardly eye-catching to everyday consumers to read ‘science says dinosaurs still old’. the tried & true method of ‘hey look, coffee cures cancer!’ will probably stick around!

They've used a similar method to study the mortality rate of marijuana smokers, by strapping a gas mask on monkey's faces and choking them with nothing but marijuana smoke. This is why when someone cites a study, it's SO important to read how it was done.

@@PhilEdwardsInc A scientifically literate population is largely irrelevant when decisions are largely driven by and made between government, business, and activists.

It's illegal to bring it into the country for commercial reasons. It's fine for personal use.

I think it requires a bit more opinion than I felt comfortable with putting in the video. With that caveat, I think the media firestorm over Jacqueline Verrett was probably the reason - just a matter of timing (and the people in power in the respective bureaucracies). The later FDA attempt to ban saccharine got fought by consumers and companies and didn't have such a fantastical demo. Differing opinion?

Probably because saccharine tastes FOUL, so the Sugar Cartel wasn't as worried about it. "Ha ha ha," they laughed. "Sure, let them drink something that tastes like straight up poison for a while; they'll come running back to us soon enough." (I am apparently a supertaster and all diet sweeteners taste bad to me. Cyclamates were one of the least objectionable; I remember being able to drink Tab and whatever the 7-up equivalent was without immediately retching, but after cyclamates were banned the only zero calorie drink I wanted anything to do with was water or unsweetened iced tea. Sucralose is marginally tolerable in things that are supposed to be sour and a little bitter anyway like lemonade or iced tea with lemon even though it doesn't taste quite right, but sucralose plus anything else and we're back to "this is straight up poison.")

My mom kept a box of Ayds in the kitchen cabinet. She took it with hot water. Didn’t help but it was a well known fad.

100% accurate: Tylenol is deadly. Giving a 2x dose to children even just once can be fatal.

it was weakened a bit in 1996 because it was seen as too strict (that's its own debate though)

@@PhilEdwardsInc Bring it. Make it a part 2 of this and use it to show us where the debate stands as of today.

A lot of very basic things _do_ cause cancer, just not at a rate that you need to be concerned. A number of foods have above-neutral radioactivity -- Banana Equivalent Dose is an actual measure of radioactive exposure, and radiation is definitely a carcinogen. Amines thought to be carcinogenic are generated when heating starches or animal protein, i.e. when cooking food. Cooked food is still, on average, far, far safer than raw food. Eating bananas is, on average, probably healthier than not eating bananas. Governments can and should try to ban excessively debilitating products and additives. "Can cause cancer" is an absurdly broad category if you don't also consider "at what dose?", "to what degree?" and "what type of cancer?", given how common cancer is in humans (and other animals). Ultimately, you are not safe. Something will kill you within the next 100 years. Eating the occasional banana or drinking the occasional cyclamate soda are not going to shift the timeline by a measurable amount. To do that, consider inhaling a carcinogenic mixture of tar and neurotoxins or imbibing a carcinogen that's also a psychoactive depressant: they're both popular and typically legal choices.

Most likely is. Corn Syrup is used in so many products, and businesses it's on par with cotton, and tobacco in the 1800s, or even iron, and bronze in the middle ages.

It's more of corn syrup being a stable thing in liquid. When they started bringing back the "Real Sugar" versions of some soft drinks, I can, often tell the difference because you have a slightly more gritty texture due to the sugar settling out of solution there and don't enjoy it as much.

Corn is very heavily subsidized by the government in the US for multiple reasons. It makes corn syrup really economical.

this makes me even more curious to try the soda!

@@PhilEdwardsInc I got DEEP into EU labeling regulations a few years back. My favorite cola is a 49c store brand that boasted its "American taste" and I was worried there was some corn lobby shenanigans afoot. Nope, it is just a bit more syrup than the other brands. HFCS is "Glukose-Fruktose-Sirup" and only sugar is labeled as "Zucker", though it can come from a variety of sources. Beet is most popular here. I'm not avoiding sugar so I don't often come in contact with artificial sweeteners, but the few times I do there's an extra text box (it's not really appropriate to say "warning", but I can't think of another word) that there are artifical sweeteners. My most favorite "Erfrischungsgetränke", though, is Balkan Grape Fanta. It legit tastes like Dimetapp so I can live my childhood dream of slugging down the whole bottle. I finally found one with German labeling, though, and saw it has HFCS. My body just can't hang with HFCS and I'm trying to avoid it. Balkan Shokata also has the HFCS, but the German produced version is Zucker. I am deeply curious as to why, but haven't yet had the time to let myself follow that rabbit...

@@constancestrawn1303 With Coke brands, the local bottlers can decide which sweeteners to use. So having one country bottling with HFCS and another with white sugar isn't that uncommon.

afaik, in the acidic conditions in soda, sucrose will break apart and be pretty comparable to HFCS, unless you made it at home and drank it fairly soon after. HFCS is still more glucose than fructose as well, since normal corn syrup is mostly glucose. HFCS isn’t any worse for you than sucrose/glucose/fructose/most other sugars

@@morgan0 I, personally, have issues with HFCS and my health has been a lot better since I have been able to avoid it. My weight has dropped despite no other changes to my diet, my A1C is amazing now even though I satsify my caffeine addiction with 1L of cola per day, and my CRP levels are more manageable. High five to you that you can eat HFCS without issues. It can be really hard to avoid.

Stevia and xylitol are imo superior. Although they’re not sensu stricto artificial, they serve the same purpose (low/no calorie and sweet). They don’t taste bitter, only xylitol is has kind of a minty-cold aftertaste, that is barely noticeable in a coffee. Also artificial sweeteners are unusable in baking, while stevia is. Try it

@@jiribatysta87 I’ve tried stevia, it still tastes weird to me. I’ve been meaning to try xylitol.

Yeah this one is great!

I’m 99% sure you’re talking about saccharine. Saccharine is bitter and tastes terrible to everyone. Sodium cyclamate is the sweetener being discussed in this video, and it is not nasty. Sodium cyclamate is NOT THE SAME THING as saccharine. Unless you’re over the age of 60, you will not be able to "recall" the taste of sodium cyclamate - and that’s if you were using artificial sweeteners as a toddler. Were you born before 1963 or thereabouts? Or are you yet another internet liar who is neither a "super taster" nor someone who has the intellectual capacity to understand what the basic premise of this video is about? Oh, and no one over the age of 50 can be a "super taster," since the human body loses too many taste receptors by that age to have the ability to taste more flavors than an average 20-year-old can taste. If you’re over 50 and claiming to be a "super taster," we all know you’re lying.

There is one specific time that your opinion is correct: aspartame is extremely dangerous to people with phenylketonuria, as they cannot process the protein phenylanaline. But those people already can't safely eat a lot of other things, like beef, so they are already on alert.

sorry! You can't have Kinder Egg Toys in the USA. Not even as an adult. It's just too damn dangerous!!! But you can have a neat pink assault Rifle for your little kids with high cap magazine, no problem. MUCH BETTER since you cannot choke on that.

@@AxelWerner I wonder if anyone has challenged that since a lone bullet is pretty choke hazardous. But it’s not sold in food. So probably not. Edge cases in American regulations are fascinating to me, probably because federal government has such high inertia so it takes much longer to adjust than a lot of other places

Rachel Carson, the author of Silent Spring just lied and misrepresented / falsified results of De Witts experiments with DDT. And some other stuff wasn't right in that book if i remember correctly. It was a moral panic and disgusting manipulation. DDT wasn't that bad as it was portrait and later research uncovered o plethora of interesting things about DDT and environment.

@@drastically143 I’m completely unable to evaluate this statement of yours. It’s worth looking back on but I thought the DDT and Bird egg nest problem was well documented. I was 12 when I read the book. That was a bvery long time ago.

@@peterjamesfoote3964 Thank you for your answer. I understand that i didn't provide any proofs for my statements, thats my bad. Sadly i don't have much on my hands and in my notebooks right now. Anyway, by the egg nest problem you men the thinning? If yes, it's true, but It was better researched and understood later and not at that time. Much later DDT was found to cause egg shell thinning and embryo mortality. However, different groups of birds vary greatly in their sensitivity to DDT: birds of prey show the greatest sensitivity, and in natural conditions pronounced shell thinning can often be found, while chicken eggs are relatively insensitive. Due to omissions in Carson's book, most of the experimental studies were performed on species insensitive to DDT (such as quail), which often showed little or no shell thinning. So with her book she kinda sabotaged research paths. Also, for example, she wrote: «Dr. DeWitt's now classic experiments on the effect of a series of insecticides on quail and pheasants have established the fact that exposure to DDT or related chemicals, even when doing no observable harm to the parent birds, may seriously affect reproduction. The way the effect is exerted may vary, but the end result is always the same. For example, quail into whose diet DDT was introduced throughout the breeding season survived and even produced normal numbers of fertile eggs. But few of the eggs hatched». The fact is that only 80% of quail eggs hatched from high DDT-containing food (i.e., 0.02 ppm;and this is huge, the maximum allowable concentration of DDT for eggs in the Western Block was 0.1 ppm, for example) but 83.9% hatched from eggs of control quail fed in a diet free of DDT. Thus, the difference between the quails fed with DDT and the control group was only 3.9 %, which made it impossible to conclude the effect of DDT on reproductive function in birds.

ב''ה, for a while at least, tablet forms of saccharin and the other approved sweeteners were available recently in US. Perhaps the cyclamate concerns were one reason these weren't fashionable for a few decades, and for the moment they were on the market it was fairly known it was using the European-style packaging equipment.

The majority of people don't know that it's naturally occurring in a lot of food, they just lack the time and effort to actually research what they show in and what they commonly eat 🤦
