A member asked:

Is saccharine (sweet taste) in toothpaste carcinogenic?

5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Saccharine: A controversial issue. I believe that as of year 2010 the epa had formerly declared that saccharine is not a carcinogen. From the late 1800's on, that had been debatable. I urge you to simply use your personal discretion when deciding what would be in your personal and best interst as there are many options available to you.

No: At one time saccharin was thought to be a carcinogen but has since been shown to be safe.

Weigh out: You need to weigh out all the pros, cons, risks and benefits, because there are so many things that are carcinogenic. Talk to your dentist about the ingredients in your toothpaste before making a final decision.
