Necta Sweet Sugar Substitute 1/2 Grain 1000 Tablets (Pack of 3)

Works for me.

If you like saccharine this is a good product

These are the pills I use when I'm on a diet and want to control my sugar. I would buy them again and again

I've purchased this item before and have been very pleased with it. My last bottle of an initial order of three bottles from several years ago was running low after having been raided heavily in recent months, so I ordered another three-pack of the same product from Pharmapacks. This particular seller shipped the order promptly, and the three bottles arrived in perfect shape inside an unusual and evidently effective packaging scheme. It may sound weird, but I've found these tablets particularly useful for making a quick-and-dirty "electrolyte-replenishment" drink composed of three liters of plain tap water, an entire teaspoon of Morton's "Lite" salt and four half-grain tablets of aforementioned saccharin product. This sort of potassium- and sodium-enriched fluid is useful for hot days with lots of sweating or for helping to avoid the kind of agonizing leg cramps that can arise from adopting a so-called "ketogenic" diet. The sweetness of the saccharin balances the nasty salt flavor to produce a rather blah but still quite acceptable beverage that works well after being chilled in the refrigerator. I've taken to drinking a *lot* of the stuff, especially in the summer. I don't doubt that adding an artificial flavoring such as Crystal Light would work even better, but the saccharin is cheap and effective enough. Some people seem to be very sensitive to what they have described as a metallic or bitter flavor, but these super-tasters are in the minority. I haven't noticed a metallic taste myself, at least at the low concentrations at which I typically use the saccharin. BTW, the old cancer scare over saccharin appears to have arisen from a wildly misinterpreted study that stuffed laboratory rats with astonishing levels of the stuff. Rats are not people, as many a researcher has found to his or her sorrow after discovering that a promising pharmaceutical that seemed to work in rats had little or no effect in people during later studies. You can see the debunking for yourself at the following government link: http://cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/diet/artificial-sweeteners-fact-sheet "Studies in laboratory rats during the early 1970s linked saccharin with the development of bladder cancer. For this reason, Congress mandated that further studies of saccharin be performed and required that all food containing saccharin bear the following warning label: 'Use of this product may be hazardous to your health. This product contains saccharin, which has been determined to cause cancer in laboratory animals.'" "Subsequent studies in rats showed an increased incidence of urinary bladder cancer at high doses of saccharin, especially in male rats. However, mechanistic studies (studies that examine how a substance works in the body) have shown that these results apply only to rats. Human epidemiology studies (studies of patterns, causes, and control of diseases in groups of people) have shown no consistent evidence that saccharin is associated with bladder cancer incidence." "Because the bladder tumors seen in rats are due to a mechanism not relevant to humans and because there is no clear evidence that saccharin causes cancer in humans, saccharin was delisted in 2000 from the U.S. National Toxicology Program’s Report on Carcinogens, where it had been listed since 1981 as a substance reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen (a substance known to cause cancer). More information about the delisting of saccharin is available at http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/roc/eleventh/append/appb.pdf on the Internet. The delisting led to legislation, which was signed into law on December 21, 2000, repealing the warning label requirement for products containing saccharin."

I have been using this particular product since the early 70s and have never had a problem with it. I have bought it in the grocery stores, directly from the seller and most recently from Amazon because it was so easy to order. I use it for my coffee and tea every time I have a cup of either. No aftertaste for me, no medical problems. My grandmother used it all her life and never had a problem and I am now 75, still using it. I called them up years ago and asked them if it contained aspartame in it. No aspartame. Google it and see.

This is the second time I ordered this product. I cannot find saccharine locally and I dislike the majority of other sweeteners other than sugar. This product gives me options of intensity. I like the flavor. It is easy and convenient to use and the volume makes it last for a long time making it economical as well.

Excellent product, price and delivery!

We've used the saccharin option for artificil sweetner and prefer it over the other options for the most part. The tablets are much more economical, since the equivalent packets are even $1 per 100 at the dollar stores and more at the regular grocery outlets. I use it to sweeten iced and hot tea and coffee, our primary day-to-day drinks. a 3-pack lasts over a year, so it really is a great option for us.
