title: Saccharin use and sugar intake by college students.
abstract: The association of saccharin use and sugar consumption was investigated among college students. Approximately two-thirds of the subjects, half of the men and three-fourths of the women, used saccharin at least once a week. Among the women who reported daily saccharin use, 24-hr. recalls showed significantly lower caloric consumption than that of the other women. Intakes of sugar, fat, iron, and protein were also lower. Dietary histories showed that saccharin users had a pattern of consuming fewer servings of sweets.
