How was the sweetener Saccharin discovered?

I guess he didn't wash his hands before he ate. Eewwwww!

In 1977, almost 100 years after invention, saccharin was required to have a warning label regarding potential cancer. In 2010 the requirement was removed. Cancer occurred in only a few of the 100 studies on rats. No human studies showed a link. However high sugar intake is KNOWN to cause many health problems, so keep daily intake below 50g (about 1 can of soda).

Tastes nasty! Just use less real sugar (unless you have a medical restriction against real sugar)

I hate the aftertaste of all artificial sweeteners!. I'd rather just have less, or even no, sugar!

don't like the aftertaste,but I 'm sure it helps a lot of people who can't have sugar

If you have a problem with sugar & don't like using artificial sweeteners, try Stevia.

He’s lucky that he didn’t poison himself.

Is any bothered by the fact that the world's 1rst sweetner came from coal

Kat, he said, without stopping to wash my hands

Player #76981972, I’m from the UK and have never heard of this. I stopped taking sugar in drinks in my teens (74 now) because my dad said it was more refreshing. Mum took sweeteners. Horrible after taste when I tried them once. Interesting if yucky story.

Always choose the longest answer…

Player #24424873, Stevia is from a plant, I grow it!

Player #25232914, What do you think Stevia is??? It's an artificial sweetener! And leaves a nasty after taste!!!

Player #25232914, here in the UK we have "half spoon" a mixture of sugar and sweetener so you get the sweetness and consume less sugar ☺️

5I have Diabetes and hate the taste of all artificial sweeteners. a half t. of raw sugar doesn't harm my A1C at all. I was pruning near 8. Now it's

Kat, they didn't know about good hygiene back then

... small correction: Label removed in 2000 (not a carcinogen) ; In 2010 EPA says it is not a health hazard.

I use it everyday in my ice tea!!
