Answers Saccharin, the sugar substitute that gained notoriety in the late 1970s as a substance that caused cancer has been taken off the official list of likely carcinogens. The Department of Health and Human Sciences announced the change in May in the "Report on Carcinogens (9th Edition). Dr. Kenneth Older, Director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and National Toxicology Program said, ".... Studies now indicated that the rat bladder tumors arise from mechanisms that are not inherent to the human situation. In addition, we have decades more data from observations of humans using saccharin that adds to our confidence. In other words, with better science, we can now make a better call." Of course, eating real food is always better than chemically manufactured substances. See Maltitol See Aspartame See Saccharin See Splenda The Atkins Diet Center has done research that indicates
sweeteners that contain aspartame (such as NutraSweet and
Equal) stimulate insulin production (leading to unstable blood
sugar, irritability and carbohydrate cravings). Sweeteners
that use sucralose (marketed as Splenda) and saccharin (such
as Sweet'nLow) have not been shown to stimulate insulin
production.
