cyclamates and saccharin

Both of those are considered safe for humans and are used in foods to this day.

Cyclamates have been banned in the US since 1970. I'm not arguing it's correct to do so.

Saccharine tastes yucky, especially to kids, who have a stronger perception of bitterness. Again I'm not claiming it's dangerous.

I'm just pointing out the marketing difficulty.

Right but it's still used in the EU. Although... I will admit that I thought its ban had been lifted in the US when I made my post.
