Over the past decade, a growing number of studies have shed new light on the potential long-term health effects of artificial sweeteners. Consumers often wonder, 'Is Sweetex safe to consume?' Sweetex, a brand name for the artificial sweetener saccharin, has been a popular sugar substitute for decades, particularly for those managing diabetes or weight.
