The US government on Tuesday removed the artificial sweetener saccharin, long believed to potentially be a cancer-causing substance, from its list of hazardous substances.

But have they managed to improve its taste? I find it has an awful bitter after-taste.

I use a saccarin based sweetner (in use in Switzerland) both in food in powder form and in coffee as little pills. I don't find it has a bitter aftertaste so perhaps they have improved it now since you last had it

Never used it from the jar but know it is widely used in soft drinks.

I never use it because I take my tea and coffee black without... but I thought there must be some of you guys who do and would be relieved...
I consider myself lucky to be DM T2 without a sweet tooth... it's the noodles, toast, chips and whatnot that ruin my day!8)
