Saccharin

Every cozy diner has a cup full of pink Sweet ‘N Low packets. They seem unassuming, but saccharin is linked to some serious health conditions. Saccharin may contribute to photosensitivity—which can be quite worrisome for epileptic patients—as well as nausea, tachycardia, and certain cancers, among other health concerns

Unfortunately, it’s primarily used as a sweetener in children’s medications or cough syrup, so take extra caution if your child is epileptic or suffers from neurological disorders.
