Many human beings convert only 1% of their cyclamate intake to CHA, and so minute a quantity might well be harmless. But for unknown reasons other, equally "normal" people convert as much as 40% to CHA; if they are heavy users of cyclamates, the resulting high dose of CHA might cause cancer or other diseases. Like countless other chemicals, cyclamates also cause breaks in the chromosomes of both man and animals, but the genetic significance of these breaks is not yet known...
...cyclamates (besides the sodium compound, there is a calcium combination for patients on low-salt diets) is that they do not behave predictably in the human body-unlike sugar, which is completely and naturally metabolized.

This, in large doses (upwards of 50 times the probable human dose of cyclamate), is known to cause bladder cancer in rats. Because of the emergence of CHA, cyclamates injected into incubating eggs cause grotesque deformities in many of the chicks and kill others in the shell...
