Guest guest Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 there was a whole thing about saccharin causing cancer in laboratory mice several years ago but it is untrue for two reasons. 1) it would take so much saccharin being pumped into a body for it to have any effect. just think of the saccharin ratio of rat to human for that to take place. i personally like sweet 'n low but not THAT much sweet 'n low. 2) rats' livers process saccharin differently than human livers, breaks it down into a known carcinogen, while ours don't.
