LadyBelle, the warning label requirement (for saccharine) was repealed not too long ago...but, most of the manufacturer's haven't taken them off yet. Of all the Artificial Sweeteners, saccharin is the ONLY one I have full faith in. It has been around since just after the War of Northern Agression (err Civil War)...and there has never been a single provable case of cancer in a HUMAN as a result of using it.
Aspartame has been around for 30 years or so...But, it has caused serious problems in humans. I will not use Aspartame at all. Sucralose and Acesulfame-K have only been out for less than 10 years. In that time (unlike Aspartame which caused problems right away) we haven't seen any problems in humans as a result of their consumption. Only time will tell what the long term risks are, if any. In the mean time...I use products made with Sucralose and Acesulfame-K, but use Stevia for sweetening stuff I cook, bake, etc...
