Sweet'n Low is an artificial sweetener that was first introduced in 1957 by the Cumberland Packing Corporation. It is primarily made from saccharin, a substance that is 300 to 500 times sweeter than sugar but has no caloric value.
History[edit | edit source]
Sweet'n Low was first introduced in 1957 by Ben Eisenstadt, the founder of the Cumberland Packing Corporation. Eisenstadt was a diner owner in Brooklyn, New York, who was looking for a way to package sugar in individual servings. He eventually developed the idea for Sweet'n Low, a zero-calorie sweetener that could be used in place of sugar.
Composition[edit | edit source]
Sweet'n Low is primarily made from saccharin, a substance that is 300 to 500 times sweeter than sugar but has no caloric value. It also contains dextrose and cream of tartar, and is commonly used in both cooking and baking.
Health Effects[edit | edit source]
While Sweet'n Low is a zero-calorie sweetener, there has been some controversy over the potential health effects of saccharin. Some studies have suggested that it may increase the risk of cancer, while others have found no such link. The FDA has stated that saccharin is safe for human consumption.
