So what diet soda, besides fountain diet coke, uses saccharin??? I thought
all were aspartame.

Very, very few know how to rate real risks or
what they are. Even the major ones.

[
The following all have the same risk of one in a million. For each one say
whether you think the risk would likely be over or under estimated by an
average
person and support your answer using the above factors of risk perception.

smoking two cigarettes
drinking 30 diet sodas with saccharin
eating one hundred fifty (1/2 lb) charcoal broiled steaks (aromatic
hydrocarbon
risk)
eating one hundred, 100 gram servings of shrimp (formaldehyde risk)
eating four tablespoons of peanut butter every 10 days for person without
hepatitis B1
eating three hundred and fifty slices of stale bread (formaldehyde risk)
drinking seventy pints of beer per year (alcohol cancer risk)
exposure to typical radon levels in drinking water in California for six
months
drinking water with the EPA limit of arsenic (50 ppb) for three days
one quarter of a typical chest X-ray
non smoker exposed to average US radon level (1.5 pCi/l) for one week
forty days of living in Denver (compared to Philadelphia)
traveling 100 miles in a motor vehicle
dying from a lightning strike in a 6 year period
