Talk:Dulcin

Comparison with Saccharin
"However, an FDA study in 1951 raised many questions about its safety, resulting in its removal from the market in 1954 after animal testing revealed harmful chronic-toxicitic properties."

Should there be a section comparing Saccharin with Dulcin? Both were tested in animal trials for safety and Dulcin was banned where Saccharin was allowed. - OscarGuinane 12:13, 11 February 2021 (EST)

When exactly has the FDA forbidden Dulcin?
"However, an FDA study in 1951 raised many questions about its safety, resulting in its removal from the market in 1954 after animal testing revealed chronic toxicity."

According to this source:

The FDA has already forbidden Dulcin as of January 19, 1950, so how does that fit to the dates mentioned above? /Mecki (talk) 22:25, 3 February 2023 (UTC)


 * it seems you both are using the same source. The document itself mentions that the date of publication was Jan 18 1950. Cannot find a source saying the study was conducted in 1951. Aayush.garg.official (talk) 19:48, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
 * It is interesting to note that the publishing of the study happened in a book called Principles and Methods of Toxicology by wallace hayes. No further sources could be dug up in my internet searches. Could not find a digital pdf of this book or obtain it through a digital library. Its apparently page number 669. Also the study was not done by FDA so thats a bit misleading. Aayush.garg.official (talk) 19:54, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
