So, what is saccharin sodium?

Saccharin sodium is a synthetic sweetener that is often used as a sugar substitute in food and beverages. It is derived from benzoic sulfimide and is up to 700 times sweeter than sugar. Saccharin sodium has a slightly bitter aftertaste, but it is heat stable and does not contribute calories to food products, making it a popular choice for those looking to reduce their sugar intake. While it has been the subject of controversy in the past due to potential health concerns, saccharin sodium has been deemed safe for consumption by the FDA and other regulatory bodies.
