Saccharin and the Corn Free Diet

Saccharin is a non-nutritive artificial sweetener used as a sugar alternative in low-calorie and sugar-free products. It is several hundred times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) and is commonly used in both food and beverage manufacturing. Saccharin itself is not derived from corn, but it's important to note that in its powdered form, it is frequently combined with dextrose, which is derived from corn, to improve texture and bulk.
