The logic mostly works, stuff that is very harmful, with early onset of disease has been filtered out that way. Stuff where harm is (statistically) less likely

The logic mostly works, stuff that is very harmful, with early onset of disease has been filtered out that way. Stuff where harm is (statistically) less likely or appears very late can get past the filter. It could very well be that aspartame is in this latter group or may even be entirely harmless.. being extra cautious with new stuff is still rational.

- throw_pm23 3y agoYes, that overlaps largely with what I said.
