The Take
Saccharin is not healthy. It earns an 88 Slop Score as pure lab-born fake sweet that ghosts your taste buds with zero real food value.
People buy the packets to signal fitness or diet virtue, but it just pushes the 'sweet without calories' lie while needing masking agents for its bitterness.
The Verdict
Skip saccharin. Buy actual stevia leaf or monk fruit — plant-based, no lab regret.
Ancestors are filing a restraining order while your sweet tooth hits permanent life support. Slop Score: 88.
