So maybe the huge worry people had after the news that WHO would classify it as cancerous was a little too much. I think the media could have reported on it in a bit more responsible way.

Sodium cyclamate is a superior sweetener taste-wise anyway, nothing comes even close. And I’m prepared to die on that hill.
Why don’t brands use it I wonder?

It’s still banned in the US, so brands that want to use it would have to have US specific formulas or not desire to sell there.
That’s a lot of brands, for sure, but depending on where you are, they might not be the brands you see.
I am in the US and have purchased stevia many times.
Does stevia contain sodium cyclomate?
Didn’t know about that. Why is it banned? Isn’t it safer than most alternatives too?
From what I read, in the 60s there was this idea that intestinal flaura would break it down into sulpher compounds that could cause cancer. A bunch of countries banned it, but later research suggested that it’s not that big a deal, so a lot of countries unbanned it.
The US was not one of them.
