There are so many weight watchers and calorie counters in the U.S. that each year they consume almost 1,500 tons of saccharin and 7,500 tons of cyclamates. The cyclamates come in liquid form or in tablets for use at home, and are dissolved in most low-calorie soft drinks by their makers. Are they safe? For years, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration thought so and recommended no limit on consumers' intake...
...limit" sign and suggested that adults should keep down their consumption to five grams a day. For those using only the tablets, this should be no problem, since virtually all of them contain only .05 gm. cyclamate. The safety ceiling would therefore be 100 tablets a day.

Tomato Tootsie Roll. Obviously, one thing on their minds is space exploration, and Pillsbury's latest goody is the "Space Food Stick." Derived from the concentrated foods developed by Pillsbury for U.S. astronauts, the stick looks like a Tootsie Roll and is soft and chewy. It comes in chocolate, peanut butter or tomato flavors. The stick, promoted with TV spots showing a Cape Kennedy blastoff, is being test-marketed in seven U.S. cities. Packs of 14 sell for 490. Space fans, candy addicts and weight watchers seem to eat it up (each stick has only 41 calories), and marketing...
