Saccharin as sweet as.. cancer?

What is 300 times sweeter than sugar, far cheaper, and a boon to food and drinks manufacturers/vendors and titbits makers?
Answer: Saccharin
It is an artificial sweetener that has been on many countries' list of suspected carcinogens. There is no ban in Malaysia despite our repeated calls for it since 1978. It is only restricted under license and originally intended for only special purpose, low-energy food (for diabetics mainly who are on a restricted energy diet).

But this chemical is not as restricted as it appears on paper as tests through the years have shown its widespread use in food and drinks, even in sweets and tidbits popular with children. No doubt regulations concerning licensing and labelling are there as we well know these are not often followed nor enforced.

To just make it simple for you all, dont consume saccharin!
