The answer is yes in mice, maybe in humans. In 1996 the New York Times published an article titled, "F.D.A. Defends Nutrasweet as Safe" in which a University of Washington scientist named Dr. John Olney found a 10 percent increase in brain tumors in the mid-1980's, shortly after Nutrasweet was approved by the FDA and released into the market. Nutrasweet was shown to cause brain tumors in mice. Many in the scientific community feel the FDA did minimal testing and "shoddy" research as the Community Nutrition Institute says. Nutrasweet sales accounted for $988 million dollars in 2007.
