Of course, in order for the sweetener to do you harm, it had to make up at least 3% of the gross weight of food you ate every day--no easy task for a substance consumed by the quarter-teaspoonful. Oh, and it also helped if you were a laboratory rat, the only creature in which the saccharin-cancer link had ever been conclusively established...
