This has upset me for years. I work in powerplants. To clean the coal tubes in powerplants, they use Saccharine, they do not let us in the same room they store the saccharine in, without an oxegen supplying resperator. But it is fine to drink in your coffee. I talked to a health dept. employee friend of mine, and they checked and said it was fine, because the sacchrine for your coffee is only a 4% strength. Glad i dont drink it.

My husband drinks coffee all day. :( I don't like it, he thinks im weird cause I don't like it. Never have liked it, never will now..
Coffee by itself or with safer sweeteners is fine. Saccharine would be added separately—the artificial sweetener in pink packets, IIRC. It’s not nearly as commonly used as it was 30+ years ago.
My grandma put that stuff in her tea everyday. She was so sharp and witty until the dementia took over. Now it's out that if you consume one saccharine or aspartame filled drink a day, it triples your chances of getting dementia.
Yiiiikes. Not to mention, kidney stones and all kindsa other problems. That stuff's bad news.
Research anything that safely induces neurogenesis and give that to your grandma.
Long shot, but could help.
Thanks, but she died shortly before the covid lockdowns.
He uses reg sugar no artificial sweeteners. the way the OP stated it, like it was in the coffee itself not the sweetener. Hopefully that is the case like you said. I wouldn't doubt it though if it was in the coffee
sugar is ALSO BAD, i use Stevia. But i now can use just heavy cream. mmmmmm, fat.
Yeah, he has started to change and use whole milk but still can't go without the sugar in it.
I've never heard of it being in the coffee itself, and as strongly-artificial as saccharine tastes even in small amounts, I'd be surprised if it could be added and go undetected. I would guess his coffee is pretty safe, though sugar itself isn't great for you. kek! It's always something, isn't it?? If we don't get poisoned one way, they find another. 😞
