Sacchrin is shown to cause cancer in laboratory rats. Good thing we are human and not rats!

Good Luck!

Saccharin has been the subject of extensive scientific research. It is one of the most studied ingredients in the food supply. Although the totality of the available research indicates saccharin is safe for human consumption, there has been controversy over its safety. The basis for the controversy rests primarily on findings of bladder tumors in some male rats fed high doses of sodium saccharin. Considerable saccharin research, however, indicates safety at human levels of consumption. The average user of saccharin ingests less than one ounce of the sweetener each year.

In 1977, Congress passed a moratorium preventing an FDA-proposed saccharin ban. The moratorium has been extended seven times based on the scientific evidence, the counsel of qualified professionals, and the support of consumers. At a 1985 Senate hearing, then-FDA Commissioner Frank Young supported an extension of the moratorium, noting that FDA had less concern about saccharin than in 1977. The Commissioner added, "the actual risk, if any, of saccharin to humans still appears to be slight."

In 1991, the FDA formally withdrew its 1977 proposal to ban the use of saccharin. And, on December 21, 2000, then-President Clinton signed a bill that removes the warning label that had been required on saccharin-sweetened products in the U.S. since 1977. Government, scientists and industry are now all in agreement that saccharin is safe.

With all the research that I have done, I found out the saccharine has less side effects than aspartame, if might be safer, but NONE of the artificial sweeteners are really safe

Saccharin tablets were very widely use at one time, it was off the market for some time, because of a research that is not considered representative of the use now. When it was found safe to use, it was back on the market and people are using it safely.

In the mean time other products were introduced to replace it that are more improved as far as after taste goes.

Another drug that is often used to replace saccharin is sodium cyclamate.
Cyclamate: Michael Sveda, while a graduate student at the University of Illinois, discovered cyclamate by smoking a cigarette. While working on the synthesis of anti-pyretic (anti-fever) drugs in the laboratory in 1937, he put his cigarette down on the lab bench. When he put it back in his mouth, he discovered the sweet taste of cyclamate (unsanitary lab technique).

Cyclamate was initially marketed as tablets that were recommended for use as a tabletop sweetener for diabetics. In 1958, cyclamates were classified as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe). A mixture of cyclamate and saccharin, which had been found to have synergistic sweetening properties and improved taste, was subsequently marketed for use in special dietary foods. In the 1950's diet drinks were introduced using a cyclamate/saccharin blend. The market grew rapidly and soon accounted for about 30% of the soft drink sales.

In 1969, the result of a chronic toxicity study with a mixture of cyclamate and saccharin was interpreted as implicating cyclamate as a bladder carcinogen in rats. Cyclamate was removed from GRAS status and eventually in 1970 banned in the United States from use in foods, beverages and drugs, and is still currently banned. However, many other countries did not act on this incomplete data, and cyclamate continued to be used as a sweetener in those countries. Today over 55 countries have approved the use of cyclamate.

If you are looking for a natural sweetner, try Stevia. some folks use the leaf instead of buying the processed powder. It also comes in a liquid. super sweet so it does not take much.

You can use it in tea, but it is chemically made just like all the other artificial sweeteners including Splenda.

Yes, they make the tea taste foul, better to have tea without sweeteners at all.

It is not harmful but it gives a bad taste to tea. It is better not to have it.

It might not be harmful but it does not taste very good.
