Guest guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hello, I am new to the list and just getting started on SCD. I have a question about saccharin. It is listed as legal. However, the saccharin tablets that I have, and also the liquid saccharin, have several ingredients. Are all of these ingredients legal? Saccharin tablets (NectaSweet): - sodium bicarbonate - sodium saccharin - silicon dioxide - povidone - modified cellulose gum Liquid saccharin (store brand): - sodium saccharin - calcium gluconate - benzoic acid (preservative) - methylparaben (preservative) Thanks, Pat J.

Pat, in Canada we use Hermesetas tiny tablets. I do not know why they are not available in the U.S. Carol F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I have recently (for the first time) seen saccharin in a small bottle at Kroger's on the baking aisle. I think it was NectaSweet brand, tiny tablets and sort of looked like an aspirin bottle.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Thanks, Carol and Debbie! I remember Hermesetas from my days living overseas. Too bad they aren't available here in the U.S. Debbie, I got the NectaSweet tablets at Kroger (I think). But since they are illegal, I'll use the liquid - which is the Kroger store brand.
