At the start, Saccharin was marketed in boxes such as this one. The text says: "Sweetener Saccharin, 1000 boxes of 1000 tablets each."
Saccharin is the oldest artificial sweetener that exists. It can be used to replace certain kinds of sugar. It was discovered in 1878 by Constantin Fahlberg. It is also known as E954.
Saccharin has no calories and no nutritional value.[1] It is safe to take for people with diabetes.[2][3]
