title: A cancer risk assessment for saccharin.
abstract: The results from a recently completed large experiment with rats exposed to saccharin show that the dose-response function is much steeper than was previously assumed. Based on this observed steepness, any implied cancer risk at the low doses of interest to man is very small.
