Comparison with Saccharin[edit]

"However, an FDA study in 1951 raised many questions about its safety, resulting in its removal from the market in 1954 after animal testing revealed harmful chronic-toxicitic properties."

Should there be a section comparing Saccharin with Dulcin? Both were tested in animal trials for safety and Dulcin was banned where Saccharin was allowed. - OscarGuinane 12:13, 11 February 2021 (EST)

When exactly has the FDA forbidden Dulcin?[edit]

"However, an FDA study in 1951 raised many questions about its safety, resulting in its removal from the market in 1954 after animal testing revealed chronic toxicity."

According to this source:

https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?fr=189.145

The FDA has already forbidden Dulcin as of January 19, 1950, so how does that fit to the dates mentioned above? /Mecki (talk) 22:25, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

it seems you both are using the same source. The document itself mentions that the date of publication was Jan 18 1950. Cannot find a source saying the study was conducted in 1951. Aayush.garg.official (talk) 19:48, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is interesting to note that the publishing of the study happened in a book called Principles and Methods of Toxicology by wallace hayes. No further sources could be dug up in my internet searches. Could not find a digital pdf of this book or obtain it through a digital library. Its apparently page number 669. Also the study was not done by FDA so thats a bit misleading.
