Isn’t saccharine toxic?
Health department officials said, "Saccharin is harmful to children especially those under 14 years. It affects bones badly. These ice candies are sold in rural areas and their sale picks up during summer"
Some ice cream producers prefer to use saccharin as it is quite cheaper in comparison to sugar. To earn heavy profits during summer when the demand for ice candies goes up significantly, some of the ice cream producers use saccharin. Officials said that saccharin is more than 300 times sweeter than sucrose (sugar), the officials said.
