Controversy of our Beloved Saccharin :
Saccharin has actually been shown to be a carsinogin (meaning it causes Cancer), after a group of scientists in 1977 gave lab rats large quantities of saccharin and noticed an increase in bladder cancer rates in. After that, Canada banned the sweetener completely and the U.S. had the packaging of substances with saccharin say that saccharin may be a carcinogen (the U.S. didn't want to ban it all together because it was still really helpful for people with diabetes).
Here is one video showing an anti-saccharin point of view of Saccharin. Some the data in the video is slightly different then the data on this website (like in the video, they say the cancer study was done in 1970. I used different sources for my data). Enjoy!
