Word origin
The word 'saccharine' originated from the Latin word 'saccharum' which means sugar. In the late 19th century, saccharine was discovered as a sweetening agent. It gained popularity as a sugar substitute due to its intense sweetness. Despite controversies over its safety, saccharine remains widely used in various food and beverage products.
