ding, ding, ding, correct!
Cyclamates were banned in the USA in 1970, and diet sodas tasted awful (my opinion) until aspartame was introduced in 1983. Many countries continued to use cyclamates after the USA’s ban. The ban did not produce a measurable improvement in bladder cancer, and scientists later concluded that the cancer link in rats could be traced to rodent-specific biology.

Probably sucralose. (Edit: nope, it's aspartame and Ace-K)
