I was wondering were the artifical sweetners came from and learned this.....

First saccaharin commonly know as sweet n' low was actually discovered in 1880 by chemist who had accidentally gootten COAL TAR derivitive and got some on his hands! During dinner he licked some from his hands and tasted the extremely sweet taste and retracing his steps discovered that the COAL TAR deritive was to exaplain which later become saccharin. In the 70's it was linked to cancer but thos tests were disproven.

Nutrasweet (also called aspertame) was discovered in the 1970's by a chemist working on an anti-ulcer medication! Same kind of deal got some on his hands by accident and not noticing later licked his fingers and it was sweet without saccahrins bitter after-taste. You wonder why chemist aren't more careful with chemicals? lol

finally splenda...called sucralose also another accident when they testing chlorinated sugars. The lead researcher told an assitant to test one of the samples he was from India and didn't fully understand english and thought she told him to taste it. Luckily not dying discovered it was extremely sweet. Hence it eventually became splenda.

Random but interesting

I suspect there is a high concentration of aspartame »Ò¡ËÇÒ¹ here on TF....

haha, and they always say too much sweetners will be dangerous for your health?

I was wondering "where" you learned English...

" The lead researcher told an assitant to taste one of the samples he was from India and didn't fully understand english and thought she told him to taste it "

But that was exactly what the Indian was told by the lead researcher according to what you wrote .

Seems that Indian understands better English than you !!!
