Artificial sweeteners versus sugar
Source: What’s Good For You
Many people see artificial sweeteners as a handy substitute for sugar. They help keep the calorie count down, so they must be good for weight control, right? Reporter Leila McKinnon asks experts in the US whether this really is true.
Most artificial sweeteners were discovered by accident. In 1879 a lab worker spilled a sweet-tasting chemical onto his hands; accidentally licked his fingers and saccharin had been discovered.
Almost 60 years later, a graduate student detected the sweet taste of a chemical that had accidentally seeped into the cigarette he was smoking and cyclamate was the result.
