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.

Saccharine is a trigger for Asthma for me. As a kid, drinking orange squash would make me wheezy, I narrowed it down to saccharine.
A certain shop used to sell Indian tonic water that I used to buy, own brand, and I bought it because it was made only with sugar. Suddenly I got wheezy drinking it and sure enough they started adding saccharine as well as sugar.
I see this a lot now, previously items with just sugar are phasing out sugar and using sweetners, cheaper I suppose. Now the only tonic available without sweetner is very expensive type.
