We use it in our iced tea, put it in our cereal and eat it in many reduced-calorie or sugar-free foods and beverages everyday…saccharin.  The sugar substitute has been a part of our daily lives for more than 100 years and is used by millions of people to stay in better overall health and control weight.  Saccharin also has been the subject of controversy almost since it was discovered, but now it is one of the most thoroughly tested food ingredients.  In fact, saccharin’s safety as an artificial sweetener is supported by 30 human studies, a century of use, the approval of the World Health Organization and 100 countries around the world, as well as leading health groups.
