Your article is simplistic, inaccurate and alarmist. I do not use sugar substitutes, but I am sure that for many who are diabetic or obese, having this alternative is much better than pure sugar. Also, how about providing some real references for your broad based claims like “Numerous studies have shown a link to a variety of cancers.” so we can see the evidence for ourselves.

There seems to be some questionable statements in this article. It isn’t what this site states. http://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/vchembook/549saccharin.html

Sweet n Low doesn’t contain cyclamate, cyclamate was banned in the US in 1969 but you can get it in Canada as Sugar Twin. Sweet n Low contains saccharin which was never banned. If you’re going to be giving food and health advice you might want to learn how to read the ingredients list on the box.
