>>37 "...specific to the rat. The Panel considers that these effects are of no relevance for humans." Bad move. The Panel should have suggested to study these effects on humans, not dismiss it.

"...when used at current levels in foods." Yeah but one tends to use more sweetener, because fake sugar doesn't give any sugar rush. That stuff doesn't sweeten very much, In my experience one needs about 2x-3x more sucralose to get the same sweet taste as sugar. What is needed is a study of sucralose in humans in real conditions over a period of at least 6 months. And then check their kidneys for kidney stones.

Also if you read those Cases stories at >>36, you see that people don't associate their troubles with the sweetener they are using. Artificial sweeteners are supposed to be sugar-free, and therefore "healthy"! I have seen people getting gall bladder problems, getting those organs surgically removed, and they still continue to drink the same aspartame'd diet cokes afterwards... "but I want to stay slim!" :(
