In 1969 there was a ban on cyclamate because of a study which found it toxic to rats. This 1970 report might be related to that - I did not find the original study.

Anyway, the story is that because of the banning of this chemical, President Nixon ordered a review at that time of all chemicals designated as GRAS.

Chemical analysis sensitivity might be 1 million times more sensitive than in the 1950s. Here's a start.[edit]

This article is written strangely!!![edit]

I don't care enough to fix it. It's written in a strange manner with weird phrases that don't sound human. Padlocks (talk) 05:18, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
