    Introduction: saccharin sodium is a commonly used synthetic sweetener in the food industry, and it has the longest history of use However, is saccharin sodium additive harmful? Now let's learn about it together with the small edition of Baibai safety net Saccharin sodium is a commonly used synthetic sweetener in the food industry, which has the longest history of use, but it is also the most controversial synthetic sweetener Saccharin sodium is 300-500 times sweeter than sucrose It is not broken down in vivo and is excreted by kidney But its toxicity is not strong, and its carcinogenicity is the main controversy Recent studies have shown that the carcinogenicity of saccharin may not be caused by saccharin, but related to sodium ion and high proteinuria in rats But is saccharin sodium additive harmful? Now let's learn about it together with the small edition of Baibai safety net As the consumption of saccharin is harmful to human health, some western developed countries strictly control the use of saccharin The control standard is generally no more than 5% of the total consumption of sugar, and it is mainly used for toothpaste and other industrial purposes Compared with developed countries, China's saccharin use is 14 times more than the normal use More experts warned that by the second half of 1999, the share of saccharin in the national sugar market had reached 55% - 60% of the total market share, seriously squeezing the share of sucrose In particular, a small number of consumers do not know the harm of saccharin, eat a large amount of saccharin in a short period of time, causing thrombocytopenia and causing acute massive bleeding, multiple organ damage, and so on, leading to malignant poisoning Baibai safety net reminds you: are food additives harmful? Some food additives are harmful to human body, but our national food safety detector can accurately check whether the food is safe and whether there is excessive use of additives, so that we can eat more safe food If you want to know more about food additives, please go to Baibai safety net Editor in charge: Wang Xiaoli
