The Aspartame Controversy, saccharin

While questions about saccharin may persist, the safety of another artificial sweetener, aspartame, is clear cut, say FDA officials. FDA calls aspartame, sold under trade names such as NutraSweet and Equal, one of the most thoroughly tested and studied food additives the agency has ever approved. The agency says the more than 100 toxicological and clinical studies it has reviewed confirm that aspartame is safe for the general population.

More Than a Century of Use

The granddaddy of all sugar substitutes is saccharin. Discovered in 1879, it was used during both world wars to sweeten foods, helping to compensate for sugar shortages and rationing. It is 300 times sweeter than sugar.

An early attempt to ban saccharin came in 1911 when a board of federal scientists called the artificial sweetener "an adulterant" that should not be used in foods. This same board later decided to limit saccharin just to products "intended for invalids," a restriction that was lifted after World War I began.

Sugar Substitutes: Americans Opt for Sweetness and Lite

By John Henkel

"Sugar in the morning, sugar in the evening, sugar at suppertime …"

The lyrics of that old song go a long way toward describing the cravings of many Americans.

Not to mention all the goodies that are part of Valentine’s Day, Halloween, and the year-end holiday season. It all adds up to one massive national sweet tooth.

Controlling calories without sacrificing taste

Get creative! Here are some tips to get started.

Spice it up. There’s more to seasoning than salt and pepper. Herbs and spices are a wonderful way to add flavor to foods without adding fat and calories. Try oregano on your broccoli, ginger on your carrots or nutmeg on your spinach. You may like marjoram or sage on your chicken or a dash of chili powder on a serving of mild fish.

Experiment. Make a vegetarian version of your favorite spaghetti sauce or casserole. Try lean chicken or ground turkey in recipes that call for beef. Include vegetables in recipes that don’t call for any—and increase the amount of veggies in recipes that do.
