Saccharin was discovered in 1879 by Constantin Fahlberg, a chemist at Johns Hopkins University. It was the first artificial sweetener and gained popularity as a sugar substitute, particularly during sugar shortages in World War I and II. Its use has been subject to controversy regarding health effects, but it remains an important ingredient in many low-calorie and sugar-free products.
