Do artigo da Wikipedia: A doçura da sacarina foi descoberta acidentalmente por Ira Remsen, professor na Johns Hopkins University, associado eo laboratório Remsen. Em 1879, enquanto trabalhava com alcatrão de hulha (tolueno), Remsen descobriu a doçura da sacarina no jantar por não ter lavado completamente as suas mãos, como havia feito Fahlberg durante o lanche. Remsen e Fahlberg publicaram em conjunto a descoberta em 1880 (Fahlberg, C.; Remsen, I. Ãœber die Oxydation des Orthotoluolsulfamids. Chem. Ber. 1879, 12, 469-473). Contudo, em 1884, Fahlberg patenteou a produção em massa da sacarina sem mencionar Remsen. Sobre o assunto, Remsen comentou: “Fahlberg é um canalha. Dá náuseas ouvir o nome dele mencionado juntamente com o meu.”. [...] […] A sacarina, como muitos outros adoçantes, foi descoberta por acidente.

I'm a Chem E. student at New Mexico tech, and am undecided as to what I think about the whole thing. Has anyone seen any hard evidence either way? I'd like to think there'd be some quantitative measure about what this stuff does. I won't eat much of anything that has any aspartame in it untill I see something convincing.
